Soundproof wall against neighbor's heat pump

So I come back to the question of liability in supply contracts or costs in case of a defect, when a member cannot or does not want to pay. So: Who is liable and how?

An "unregistered" association can still be "legally capable." And, by the way, one can separate ownership and operation.

Well, basically I think combined heat and power plants or local heating are great, [...] In addition, in a condominium owners’ association there are the usual advantages and disadvantages. At least I don’t have to worry about my island.

I don’t know how you always come from a shared heating system to a condominium owners’ association. No one intends to establish socialism

By the way, islands can get pretty lonely for a Robinson without a Friday.

Can you separate kes and two topics in one post?

1) Can you simply answer my question, who is liable in a non-registered legal association when supply contracts, for example for electricity, are not fulfilled? Who pays for repair or replacement in case of a defect? And who pays if one party cannot?

This question has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with a WEG.

2) In local concepts, such a combined heat and power plant must also be located somewhere. Since it will be neither in my nor in your basement, usually on its own property. That is where the matter with the WEG comes in. But whatever.

So. Please just answer the questions from 1.

"kes and two topics": ? ? ?

1) Can you simply answer my question, who is liable in an unregistered legal association,

As with any association: the board. And again: not all aspects of the whole mess have to be in the hands of the legal entity association.

Exactly.

2) With local concepts such a combined heat and power unit must also be located somewhere. Since it will be neither in my nor in your basement, usually on its own property. That’s where the WEG comes in. But whatever.

No, there lies your mistake: the thing can simply stand in the garage extension of Hubers or Müllers or Meiers or Schmidts. Wherever it stands otherwise – just ODER instead of UND. That’s the trick: the "boiler" for six is not much bigger than for one alone.

And wherever the thing stands, it can also be in ownership. It does not have to belong to everyone; I also don’t hold any shares or cooperative shares in "my" municipal utilities. The (e.g. !) association "saves" in the "extreme case" only the one at whose place the* thing stands, the "business" compared to the others.

[*) you don’t necessarily have to set up a network with only one "master"]

Once again regarding the noisy heat pump. In my opinion, it belongs to the main system, therefore the same regulations on setback areas apply as for the main building. So no construction in setback areas. Was this complied with? Or is there an exception regulation in the development plan?

As with every club: the board. And again: not all aspects of the whole mess have to be in the hands of the legal entity club.

Wrong, all members are jointly and severally liable.

In other words, if your neighbor, aka club member, does not pay, the supplier can successfully claim the entire demand from you in one go.

And the heating system, if installed on your insolvent neighbor's property in the basement or extension (garage is not possible), is part of his sole property. The property cannot be transferred to a club.

I never said that something like that can't work. I'm just saying that it involves risks that no one wants and therefore usually have to be transferred to third parties (for money).
