Housing cooperative changes: powers of attorney and ownership rights

New regulations change the rules for granting powers of attorney in housing cooperatives and accelerate the possibility of obtaining apartment ownership. Cooperative members gain new tools for action but must comply with strict deadlines and formalities.
Key points
Close relatives can be attorneys, but not informal partners – the attorney must submit a declaration under penalty of fine for false statements.
An attorney cannot vote on election and dismissal of cooperative board members.
Power of attorney documents must be delivered to the cooperative 3 days before the general meeting.
After 24 months from the law's entry into force, a court may establish separate apartment ownership if the cooperative delays transformation.
Housing cooperatives gain new powers in housing programs and pandemic response.
