Theft of electricity
- Terrazas del Rodeo
The issue of theft of electricity was brought up by representatives of property owners at the latest community meeting on 13 April 2019, but it was never mentioned in the Minutes (“Acta”). Photo evidence of illegal connection was presented too. The illegal connection to one of the apartments was in place from June 2018 until it was sold and refurbished in the spring of 2021.
It seems it was first in a letter on 25 December 2020 where the Secretary-Administrator mentioned theft of electricity to the property owners, by saying that there are no theft of electricity from neither any neighbours or from the community.

It has been a problem for a number of years with potential dangerous dogs within the community where the owners do not comply with the legislation. Both the administration and the president of the community have been informed about the situation long time ago, but they seem to have been avoiding to fulfill their duties to take action to solve the problem.
Besides that potential dangerous dogs must have a muzzle on and be on a lead, the owner also must have a license and a liability insurance that covers up to 175.000 EUR per claim in case of damage caused by the dog. It is important for any community to know that every owner of potential dangerous dogs within the community has a valid license and a liability insurance.
