Who must pay condominium expenses in Israel?

Section 58 of Israel’s Land Law establishes the general duty of each apartment owner to participate in expenses necessary for proper maintenance and management of common property. Cleaning, common electricity, elevators, insurance and required inspections are therefore not merely optional items.

Allocation is not automatically equal per apartment. The statutory basis may depend on the apartment’s floor-area ratio unless a valid registered arrangement provides otherwise. The bylaws and registration should be checked before issuing charges.

In practice, the building should define who may approve expenditure, what evidence is required before payment and how owners are informed. ALTIT LUXURY structures this process, centralises the information and brings decisions requiring approval to the condominium owners’ committee.
