New rules for proxies and flat ownership in housing cooperatives

The law changes how members of housing cooperatives can appoint proxies for meetings. A close family member can be a proxy, but must sign a special statement under penalty of a fine. It also makes it easier for members to go to court to get separate ownership of their flat if the cooperative delays the process.
Key points
A close family member (e.g., spouse, child) can be a proxy at a cooperative meeting, but not an unmarried partner.
The proxy must sign a statement confirming eligibility, with a fine for false statements.
Proxies cannot vote on electing or dismissing the supervisory board or management board members.
If the cooperative fails to transfer flat ownership within 24 months, the member can go to court to force the transfer.
The act also introduces amendments to several other laws, including those on social forms of housing development and the National Property Pool.
