In a tourist residence placed

This decision provides important clarification on your real estate rights. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

In a tourist residence subject to the co-ownership regime for built buildings, neither the requirement for a single operator provided for by Article D. 321-2 of the Tourism Code, nor the inclusion in a commercial lease granted by a co-owner, who cannot transfer more rights than he has, of a clause 'subrogating' the operator into its rights and actions against the builders and their insurers, has the effect of depriving a co-owners' association of its standing to act against them with a view to obtaining compensation for damage affecting the common parts of the building.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points to remember

• Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for bringing claims
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
