Facility management/Building management/Property management.
A management company is business
structure, carrying out housing and communal services of
home. The foundation of the Homeowners association (HOA) is
required by law in Turkey. Any residential complex must have
an administrator. The administrator can be an owner or
tenant who himself lives in the complex, or it can be
transmitted to a professional management company.
What is the proper and legal establishment of an Owners
Association?
-
The first
general meeting can only be held if 51% of the owners
are present or represented.
-
A notary
accredited protocol book and cash-book is required and
must be prepared before the meeting.
-
The
meeting should start with defining a chairman, who the
meeting will lead, coordinate and taking minutes.
-
Then
following points are to discuss and decide by an
absolute majority: :
-
Determination and selection of the Management
Advisory Board. This must consist of a director,
assistant director, secretary, treasurer, controller
and members.
-
The
duties and responsibilities of the Director
determine, define and empower.
-
Preparation of the budget.
-
Regulation of the house rules.
-
Determination of staff such as caretaker, security
guard, gardener, etc.
-
All
decisions in the General Assembly are taken by an

If the above
steps are done, the proper foundation is assured. However,
is the right proper management also guaranteed?
In buildings with only few units it may be possible, that
the management is led as a side job by a resident of the
building. However, it shouldn’t be forgotten, that the
management of properties includes very varied tasks.
Unfortunately, for the fulfilment of the tasks in most cases
only good will isn’t sufficient, therefore professional
house management is recommendable for right management of
the property.
