English

The community is regulated by three documents, in order of precedence they are.

The Horizontal Property Act, The Statutes and La Trinidad Internal Rules.

The Horizontal Property Act is a legally enforceable law defining how the community and its officers are to comply with Spanish law.

The Statutes were developed specifically for La Trinidad by the developer and the Administrator. During the purchase of each apartment,  The Statutes were accepted by the owners and can now only be changed by unanimity of the General Assembly.

La Trinidad Internal Rules, suggested within the Horizontal Property Act, have been written by your Committee to ensure the owners and visitors are aware of the behavior expected of them by the majority of La Trinidad owners. They are also specific, many based on the Statues, to avoid individual interpretation of some legal rules. They can be modified by a majority of the General Assembly.
