Condominium law (WEG law) forms the legal basis for ownership of individual apartments within a building as well as for coexistence and administration in a homeowners' association. Unlike owner-occupied houses or rental apartments, living together in a condominium association often results in conflicting interests when it comes to the organization of the association and, in particular, the distribution of costs.

Owners are often unclear about the rights and obligations of individual condominium owners and the community. The distinction between special and common property, the distribution of costs and decision-making, as well as the regulatory and decision-making powers within the community can be complicated and confusing.

This can lead to avoidable conflicts that can have a significant impact on the profitability of an investment or on community life. Contestation proceedings can significantly delay necessary measures, where a well-considered decision would have been much more likely to achieve the desired result.
