Locking drvice
We live in an apartment block that consists of 12 apartments.
Six are accessed off the main road and the first floor six are accessed via an individual secure key system.
The main entrance to the first floor is not only an exit / entrance but our only emergency escape route.
At the latest AGM the President who has an apartment on the first floor proposed that the inside section of the door should have a locking device that secures the door from intruders.
He has not been present at his second home for twelve months yet wants security to his property at the expense of safety to the residents who are permanently living in this complex.
The locking of the door manually isolates all intercom system linked to apartments in an emergency and access can only be made by someone attending yhe outer door, which in an Emergency situation may not be possible.
Is his decision to manually lock the door from the inside on a vote at the AGM legally binding if you disagree with the outcome and refuse to lock yourself in.
My own feelings are that if individuals feel threatened by the fact that their premises can be accessed by undesirable people due to their lack of use they should ensure their own security system and not expect residents to suffer on their behalf.
We would be interested in our legal position yo agree with the AGM vote.
