Convincing neighbours to clean

I would start by piling everything up in front of that guy's door. Then have a conversation with his mother about how badly she raised her son.

If you rent its the landlords responsibility ( just add €6 to the monthly rent)  if you own then form a residents association and charge a yearly maintenance fee.

I own the place. I pay maintenance fees but administrator is refusing to provide receipts. She actually gets really mad when someone is asking for receipts, which I don't get also, since all her spending is apparently legitimate, she is not cutting corners from what I understand - there were indeed some small repairs and maintenance and handyman was paid for that.

Residents association - my understanding is that you need majority to sign. There was once again ignorance and only empty talk. I drafted agreement, regulations, did research about how to do it - all in vain, silence in response. I would've done it myself, but I can't really because of signatures.

Another thing is that association doesn't guarantee that people will follow the rules - there is no enforcement.

Malta health authorities would be my final measure but I am considering it. I can imagine it will generate a scandal in the condo and a lot of hatred against me.

If you pay a maintenance fee then the administrator is your employee.

I would check your purchase agreement and if maintenance is part of the sale agreement get a solicitor involved.

A letter informing him/her of their obligation in law may be enough.

Thanks, that's a good point.
