Where the law stands
Two bills on jointly owned buildings are with parliament. Nothing is in force yet. We update this card after every move.
Two bills on the management of jointly owned buildings are with parliament. Neither has been voted on, and nothing is in force.
What that means for your building today
Nothing changes. The committee is still required by the law as it stands. Contributions, the reserve fund and the building’s insurance are still the committee’s decisions, and a management company is still the committee’s choice.
What the bills would ask for
The main bill, as published in December 2024 and reworked in an 80-page proposal in September 2025, carries six things: a registration and supervision service for committees, a mandatory reserve fund, compulsory insurance, regular inspections by registered engineers, wider powers for committees, and a standard set of internal regulations. A separate bill would raise the fines for dangerous buildings.
Why it is not through yet
The district local government organisations (EOAs) did not want the registration and supervision duties the bill hands them. Committee discussion stopped in January 2026 over exactly that, and in July the Interior Minister named the bill one of three priorities for the autumn.
On 10 September 2026 the House interior committee took the bill up again. The ministry and the EOAs reached an understanding that the EOAs will run the register and the supervision, the state will build the online registration platform, and a two-year transition would follow the vote; the committee gave the ministry three weeks to answer the EOAs’ remaining requests and aims to finish the discussion in 2026 (Cyprus Mail, 10 September 2026). The minister’s letter of 7 September rules out state funding for the EOAs’ own costs of the new duty, which the EOAs had asked for (Politis, 10 September 2026). No vote has been taken.
What we do with it
We prepare buildings for what the bills ask before it becomes law, so that when it does, your building has nothing to catch up on.
We check the status after every parliamentary move and change the date at the top of this entry when we do.
