Voting procedure in the owners' meeting

The voting in the owner's meeting (ETV) has to be done according to §21 section 3 WEG, §23 section 1 WEG and §25 WEG according to the head principle. This means that every apartment owner is entitled to one vote, regardless of the number of co-ownership shares (MEA). If several people are jointly entitled to an apartment, they can only exercise the voting right uniformly.

The head principle can be changed in the Declaration Of Division or community regulations or in an agreement (to be entered in the "Grundbuch" = land register) in favor of the voting principle in accordance with the MEA.

In this context, it should be noted that when agreeing on the distribution of costs for a maintenance or repair measure, a modernization and a structural change in accordance with Section 22 (2) of the WEG, the head principle also applies if it has otherwise been effectively waived.
