A primary issue for
all apartment owners is the state of their management company and whether or not they choose to try and get involved.
Too often, there is a "disconnect" going on - a sort of "us" the apartment owners and "them" the management company. That comes across loud and clear from your post. In reality, it is the apartment owners who should be running the management company
The best thing you can do is educate yourself about management companies. Read up on them. Maybe talk to your solicitor. If your father is unable to deal with the
situation and you are stepping into his shoes, you need to decide if you/ the family are going to get involved "to protect the property".
