If we are co-owners of a property together with another person, Is it possible to claim expenses from the co-owner in relation to the maintenance of the property?<\/em> The answer is yes. Yes, it is possible, and in today\u2019s article we will explain how it can be done. We will focus on the case of co-ownership of a property, in which one of the two co-owners never faced any of the expenses. Our law firm has had the opportunity to advise clients on this type of matter and we explain in this article the key points to take into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Obligation of the co-owners to assume the expenses for the maintenance of the property<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Spanish Civil Code stipulates that the charges of property will be borne by each co-owner in proportion to their share. In the same way it works with the benefits: each co-owner will participate in the benefits in proportion to the quota that has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, if we share 75 per cent co-ownership of a property with another person, we will have to bear 75 per cent of the expenses. And the other co-owner will be responsible for the remaining 25 per cent. Likewise, we will enjoy 75 per cent of the benefits, and the other co-owner of 25 per cent of these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Possibility to force the co-owner to contribute to the expenses of the co-ownership<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, what happens if I am the only one who is paying the costs of the jointly owned property? In this case, we may oblige the other co-owner to contribute to the co-ownership maintenance costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This action is known as a co-owner reimbursement action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
