In my building they are repairing a neighborhood apartment because it was flooded during a thunderstorm on last February and it is considered extraordinary. Suing a neighborhood and associated costs should be extraordinary, as well. Some consorcios divide expenses as Expensas A, B and C. A = ordinary, B = extraordinary, C = ??? Every building manager interprets stuff like they want. Where I am living now we are 2 owners and 20 tenants, so our building manager tend to favor owners. My landlord is a nice guy and he is open for discussion about what expenses are ordinary and extraordinary (he was himself a tenant in this building before buying one apartment), as our building manager tends to put everything under A (ordinary) to spare himself the hassle of thinking if every job was ordinary or extraordinary.
