administração de condomínios (building management)
Management of the common parts of a block of flats: the stairs, the lift, the roof, the courtyard, the building insurance, the bills and the service charges. The administrator is chosen by the owners' meeting and can be a management company or one of the neighbours. You pay them the monthly condomínio charge, and when a flat is sold they are required by law to issue a statement of the charges and debts for that flat.
Where you come across it. A flat owner's monthly bills, the owners' meeting, buying a flat and the question of the previous owner's debts.
If the building is managed by a company, the way to complain about it is not an online review but an entry in the Livro de Reclamações. The administrator can be replaced only by a decision of the owners' meeting, not by a single owner.
