What Happens If a Co-Owner Stops Paying?

What Happens If a Co-Owner Stops Paying - With Palmallorca Co-Ownership

Stability Starts with Structure

The Mallorca Homebase Co-Ownership model is built to be smooth, fair, and stress-free — even if unexpected issues arise with one of the co-owners.

That’s why we’ve designed a clear, respectful, and legally sound process in case a co-owner fails to pay their fair share of annual costs (cleaning, maintenance, insurance, admin, etc.).


Built-In Protection from Day One

When the company is created, each co-owner deposits an upfront buffer equal to 6 months of their annual shared costs. This acts as a financial cushion, reducing the risk for other owners if someone delays or misses payments.


What If a Co-Owner Doesn’t Pay?

If a payment is missed, the administrator takes immediate and discreet action:

  • First, the co-owner is contacted personally to understand the situation
  • A short grace period allows time to catch up or resolve the issue
  • If needed, the co-owner can choose to:
    • Rent out one or more weeks to cover the balance
    • Sell one or more weeks voluntarily

Legal Rights to Protect the Group

To protect the other owners and the property:

  • Each owner’s shares are secured with a pledge clause in the legal agreement
  • Shares cannot be transferred or sold if any unpaid balance exists on the owner’s company account
  • If no resolution is reached, the administrator may initiate a forced resale of shares to recover the debt — always seeking the best outcome for everyone involved

You Don’t Have to Get Involved

This system ensures:

  • No stress for other owners
  • No group discussions or drama
  • No impact on the property or shared services

The administrator handles all communication and resolution steps. Co-owners remain protected and unaffected — just as they should.


Resale with Respect

If resale becomes necessary:

  • Mallorca Homebase and the administrator will assist in finding a new buyer
  • Existing owners will be informed but not required to act
  • Any resale follows the same legal and ownership rules as all transfers

It’s About Fairness — Not Punishment

Life happens. The structure is not designed to punish, but to protect the shared investment, ensure fairness, and keep the co-ownership enjoyable for everyone — for years to come.
