The basic principle is that every co-owner has the right to inspect documents concerning the common affairs of the building: the founding deed, the bylaws, minutes and resolutions, annual reports and accounts of how common costs were used. This right does not depend on attendance at a given meeting.
In practice the manager must provide access to these documents within reasonable time on request, either as a copy or through on site inspection. A digital document library turns this right into practically instant self service access.
There are limits: personal data of other owners, such as the details of a specific flat's payment delay or another owner's contact details, are not automatically public and are covered by data protection rules. Aggregated financial data is accessible to everyone.
A common misunderstanding is that the right of inspection also means a right to intervene or veto daily operations. It does not: inspection is a right to information, decision making remains with the general meeting.
If a manager unjustifiably refuses inspection, that itself can signal a breakdown of trust and may justify considering a change of manager.
Merbo provides every owner with access to their own and the common documents through the eHáz system, preventing the question of inspection from becoming a dispute at all.
