Condominium & HOA Advisory

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.

In Yucatán, thirty calendar days from the date you were notified of the minutes — not from the date you understood them (Ley sobre el Régimen de Propiedad en Condominio del Estado de Yucatán, art. 62). 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 favour.

Both states anticipate it, but the remedy is not the same. In Yucatán, owners representing at least 25% of the participation quotas can ask the administrator to convene; if he does not, they may issue the notice themselves (Ley sobre el Régimen de Propiedad en Condominio del Estado de Yucatán, art. 31) — unless your bylaws set a different threshold, which the article expressly allows. In Quintana Roo, the same 25% of the indiviso must request it in writing, and if the administrator has not convened within ten business days, a civil judge or the Centro de Justicia Alternativa publishes the notice instead (Ley de Propiedad en Condominio de Inmuebles del Estado de Quintana Roo, art. 30). Getting the convocation right matters as much as winning the vote: a defective notice is the cheapest way for an administrator to have the whole assembly annulled.
