Association arrears,
pursued to the end

Certification of the debt

The debt settlement approved at the owners' meeting, with the chairperson's approval and notified to the debtor. It is the title the order-for-payment requires, done properly.

Prior demand (MASC)

The attempt at agreement that Ley 1/2025 requires before suing, with its template and its proof of receipt. Without it, the claim is not admitted.

Order-for-payment and enforcement

The monitorio order-for-payment procedure under art. 21 LPH, with its interest and costs, and enforcement if the debtor still will not pay. We handle it in full.

Defence of the association

Challenging resolutions, disputes with neighbours and the legal advice an association -or its manager- needs when things get complicated.

Why associations
do not collect what they are owed

A badly drawn-up certification

The art. 21 LPH order-for-payment requires the debt to be approved at the meeting and notified. A badly drawn-up certificate brings down the whole claim. We produce it properly.

Forgetting the MASC

Since Ley 1/2025, without first attempting a MASC the claim is not admitted. It is a step many managers still skip, and it holds up collection.

Not using the voting lever

An owner who is in debt is deprived of the vote (art. 15.2 LPH), unless they deposit the amount or challenge it. It is real pressure that many associations do not make use of.

Files that lapse

A claim left in a drawer eventually becomes time-barred. Every debt needs its own file with its deadlines. What is not claimed is lost.

Does your association
have defaulters?

Leave us your details and a Set Legal adviser will get in touch to help you recover the unpaid fees of your association or the ones you manage. No commitment.

A real law firm,
alongside the property manager

We are lawyers who claim association fees day in, day out: we know which certificate holds up in an order-for-payment, which demand makes people pay and how deadlines are calculated. The property manager has a law firm behind them, not a stray template.

We start by listening to your case and reviewing the debt. No small print: you will know what can be claimed and how before anything is set in motion.

What communities
ask us most

How do you claim an unpaid homeowner-association fee?
First the debt approved at the owners' meeting is certified, with the chairperson's approval, and notified to the debtor. Then, since Ley 1/2025, you must attempt an agreement through an out-of-court dispute resolution method (MASC) before suing. If they still do not pay, you go to the monitorio (Spanish order-for-payment procedure) under art. 21 of the Horizontal Property Act (LPH).
Do you have to go to court to get paid?
Often not. The certified debt plus a formal demand make quite a few defaulters pay before the order-for-payment stage. And if you do have to go, the file is already built, with its interest and costs.
Can a defaulting owner vote at the meeting?
Under art. 15.2 LPH, an owner who is not up to date with their debts to the association may take part in the meeting but is deprived of the right to vote, unless they deposit the amount or challenge the debt in court. It is a real lever to make them pay.
What is the mandatory MASC demand?
Since Ley Organica 1/2025, before filing a civil claim you must prove that an out-of-court dispute resolution method has been attempted (a negotiation, a demand, a conciliation...). Otherwise, the claim is not admitted. We get it done and documented.
Who pays the interest and the costs?
If the order-for-payment succeeds, the defaulting owner is liable for the debt, the interest and, as a general rule, the costs of the proceedings. We claim the full amount, not just the fees.

An association cannot run
on fees that go uncollected.
