Condominium & HOA Advisory

Representing owner groups against developer-controlled administrators — governance audits, assembly convocation, and administrator removal.

Representation for condo owner groups against developer-controlled administrators: governance audits, properly convened assemblies, administrator removal, bylaw reform, and recovery of promised amenities. Condo owner rights in Mexico come from state law, not a single federal statute — Yucatán and Quintana Roo each have their own condominium act, and the deadlines run from notice, not from when you actually read the minutes.

Frequently asked

Questions buyers commonly ask.

Can PROFECO help with a condominium dispute?

Only where the fight is still consumer against supplier — PROFECO has jurisdiction over the developer that sold you the unit, including presale obligations and common areas that were promised but never built. Once the regime is handed over and the conflict becomes owner against assembly or owner against administrator, it moves to state condominium law and the civil courts. When the developer is also still acting as administrator, both frames can apply at once.

How long do I have to challenge an assembly resolution?

In Yucatán, you have thirty calendar days from the date you were notified of the minutes — not from the date you understood them. Standing belongs to owners who voted against, were absent, or were wrongly denied a vote. Resolutions that break the law itself can be challenged by any owner, including one who voted in favor.

What if the administrator refuses to call an assembly?

Both Yucatán and Quintana Roo law anticipate that. Owners representing 25% of total participation can issue the notice themselves or petition in writing — and if the administrator doesn't convene within the statutory window, a civil judge or the state's alternative-justice center publishes the notice instead.
