Condominium manager’s mismanagement: without proof of damage the claim fails

TOPIC
Condominium manager’s liability — burden of proof

Italian case law confirms that a condominium manager’s liability for mismanagement does not follow from generic complaints about the administration: the condominium bringing the claim must concretely prove the breach of the mandate obligations and the economic loss that resulted, with a precise causal link.

For condominiums this means preparing liability actions with statements of account, resolutions and accounting records at hand; for managers, a traceable and duly reported administration remains the best defence against indeterminate complaints.

IN PRACTICE
Before suing the manager, gather accounts and resolutions and quantify the loss: generic grievances are not enough.
