ÎN LEGÃTURÃ CU ART. 15 DIN LEGEA NR. 230/2007 PRIVIND ÎNFIINŢAREA, ORGANIZAREA ŞI FUNCŢIONAREA ASOCIAŢIILOR DE PROPRIETARI

Law no. 230/2007 on the establishment, organization and functioning of the owners’ associations, stipulates in art. 15: “Subject to a 5-day notice, the owner is obliged to accept the access to its apartment or to its space of a representative of the association, when it is necessary to inspect, repair or replace elements in joint ownership, which can be accessed only from the given apartment or space. Emergency situations, when access is possible without notice, shall be exempted”. In the above study, the author initially examines this text in relation to art. 27 of the Constitution of Romania regarding the inviolability of the home. Further on, he examines the requirements imposed by the same text for its legal enforcement; the situations in which the owner’s refusal to allow access – although the legal requirements are met – is an abuse of right and, in the end, other legal possibilities for the association dealing with the owner’s unjustified refusal to allow access.
