Property Rights, Obligations & Disputes in Romania

Who it is for

This service is for people who own property in the country, often people who have moved there from abroad, and who are in a dispute with a neighbour or with the owners' association (the group of owners who run a shared building or housing estate). Typical problems are about following the rules, repairs, and who is responsible for shared areas. The aim is to make sure owners who do not speak the language or know the legal system are properly represented.

Who can use it

There are no age or nationality limits. You need to own property in the country and have a problem with owning or using it. Residents and non-residents can both use the service, whatever their visa status.

How it works

• First talk: the lawyer learns about your situation and goals and which rules apply.
• Checking documents: the lawyer reads your property papers, the rules of your building or estate and any papers about the dispute.
• A plan: the lawyer decides how best to approach the matter.
• Talking to the other side: the lawyer tries to reach a friendly agreement with the other owners or the association.
• Court: if needed, the lawyer takes the matter to court and represents you.
• Updates: you get regular news in English and take part in decisions.
• After a solution: the lawyer helps make sure everyone does what was agreed and supports you with any later issues.

Why it helps

Clear communication in English, advice suited to your case, and a lawyer who deals with the other side for you, which can take a lot of stress away.
