This is directed at people who live in apartments in SD or Santiago... I couldn't get a straight answer from any dominican friends on this, so here goes.
Are there any guidelines, possibly even laws about how splitting the maintance cost should be handled in the DR?
In our building in SD as well as others in my neighborhood the monthly cost is split equaly to all apartments regardles of their size. So for example a family of 6 living in a 200 m2 penthouse pay the same amount as a 2 people living in a 100 m2 apartment.
I find this strange/wrong since even in Brazil and other latin countries the monthly maintance is calculated based on the apartment's square meters. What are your experiences with this?
