Certified Pro or Self-Management? Decoding the 1,500m² Law
Your association is registered — what's next? Are you legally required to hire a professional manager, or can you manage things yourself? Latvian law provides a clear answer.
The 1,500m² Law: Where Is the Line?
According to Latvian law, if your building's total area exceeds 1,500 square meters, management tasks must be performed by a qualified specialist with the appropriate professional certificate.
The 'Blind Trust' Trap
Hiring a professional doesn't mean your problems are solved. Often, associations face non-transparent estimates and hidden fees. Without a control tool, even the best manager can lose focus on the residents' interests.
