What Property and Complex Management Covers

Luxury residential towers and commercial complexes require more than routine property management. They demand a structured framework that protects investors, satisfies residents, and ensures long-term sustainability. Complex management law provides the legal and governance backbone for these projects, balancing operational efficiency with strict regulatory compliance.

Services We Provide

• Regulatory and governance frameworks: drafting by-laws, owner association rules, and facility usage regulations; ensuring compliance with Jordanian law, municipal requirements, and investor contracts.

• Contract oversight and performance management: preparing and reviewing agreements with facility managers, maintenance firms, and service providers; enforcing performance standards and addressing contractual breaches.

• Financial legal supervision: safeguarding service charge collection and fund allocation; advising on transparent reporting, auditing, and accountability systems.

• Dispute resolution and litigation: representing associations, developers, or investors in tenant disputes, contractor claims, or regulatory challenges.

• Government and regulatory liaison: direct representation before ministries, municipalities, and regulators; securing approvals and resolving compliance issues without delay.

Our Approach

We act not just as lawyers, but as strategic governance partners.

• Long-term focus: frameworks that prevent future disputes, not just quick fixes.

• Integrated service: legal, operational, and financial oversight under one umbrella.

• Investor confidence: aligning every process with international best practice to protect reputation and assets.

• Efficiency: clear systems that minimise risk, delay, and cost for owners and developers.

The Law That Applies

The ownership of floors and apartments, the common parts of a building and the associations of their owners are governed in Jordan by the Real Estate Ownership Law No. 13 of 2019, together with the Civil Code No. 43 of 1976 and the terms of each project’s own by-laws and contracts. Municipal requirements apply to the use and maintenance of buildings.

How an Engagement Runs

Every engagement starts with a conflict check and a confidential first meeting. We then confirm the scope, the team and the fee basis in writing before any work begins, as set out on our Fees & Engagement page.

• Review: we assess the project’s ownership structure, by-laws and existing service contracts.

• Framework: we draft or update the governance documents and the rules for shared facilities.

• Oversight: we supervise service-charge arrangements and the performance of contractors.

• Disputes: we resolve issues between owners, associations, developers and service providers.

Questions Clients Ask

Who is responsible for the common parts of a building?

The owners share responsibility for the common parts in proportion to their interests, normally acting through their owners’ association and any manager it appoints. The by-laws and the law set out how decisions are taken and how costs are shared.

How are service-charge disputes usually resolved?

Most are resolved by checking the charge against the by-laws, the service contracts and the accounts, and agreeing a correction. Where that fails, the dispute can go to the courts. Clear governance documents and transparent accounts prevent most disputes.
