Why Are the Meeting Minutes Important?
The decisions taken at the board of unit owners meeting do not remain verbal; they are put in writing with a minutes and recorded in the resolution book. This minutes is the binding basis of the decisions. If a dispute arises in the future, the answer to the question "what decision was taken" is this minutes. Therefore the minutes must be complete, clear and signed by the participants.
What Should Be in the Minutes?
- Date, place and type (ordinary/extraordinary) of the meeting
- Participation/quorum information (meeting quorum)
- Presidency (chairperson/secretary) information
- Agenda items and the decision taken for each item
- Vote results of the decisions

Filling Guide
Write each decision clearly and one by one; do not use vague expressions like "necessary decisions were taken". Specifying the vote results (how many acceptance/rejection) is important in terms of the validity of the decision and possible objections. The minutes must be signed by the participants and recorded in the resolution book.
