  • Repairs to property that is not factor

    I was hoping that you coulld tell me if I was right in thinking this. The situation is that I own my own home in a tenement building along with a few other owners but there are some who are landlords and have tenants in the houses.
    We have tried to have meetings before but because of the lack of attendance and other reasons they have really come to nothing, so I was going to see if I could organise it any better (we'll have to see). When I send out letters telling them when the meeting is , I have asked them all to let me know of any unsuitable times in February and March and have had no response, so by that I will just set a date myself. I know one works away during the week and is only home at week-ends, so I have arranged it for a Sunday afternoon, (there are twelve in the block and decisions can be taken ,I think, if there are over 2/3 of the owners or landlords there, I have also asked them in the letter if they are unable to attend to send a representative to speak for them and who can make decisions for them. Could you tell me if this is right - am I right in saying this is what they call a quorum.

    Hello loonyliz and welcome to Beagles.

    Not entirely sure how this works with tenancies but a quick Wiki search revealed this Quorum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    In an ordinary society (such as a local club) that follows Robert's Rules of Order, if the quorum is not specified in the organization's bylaws, it is a majority of the members[5]. This can cause problems because, in most such organizations, only a smaller portion of the membership usually comes to meetings, and without a quorum, no business may be done. It may be impossible to correct this problem within the bounds of parliamentary procedure. For this reason, it is a good idea to include a provision in the bylaws setting the quorum at some smaller number.
    Hope this helps you. If not I am sure someone else will be able to.
