Co-ownership management in Morocco: digitizing meeting notices, minutes and unpaid charges
The co-ownership reform (the text known as "law 30-24") was adopted by the Chamber of Representatives on July 9, 2024, but its exact status remains unclear — the sources we checked contradict each other on whether it has been promulgated. In the meantime, law 18-00 as amended by law 106-12 still applies — and a property manager can already digitize meeting notices, minutes and unpaid-charge follow-up without waiting for the reform.

A property manager (syndic) handling several buildings spends a meaningful share of their time on repetitive, low-value tasks: chasing paper or phone-based meeting notices, drafting and distributing minutes, following up on unpaid charges owner by owner. None of these tasks require specific legal expertise — they just require time, which makes them good candidates for automation.
What the reform provides — and its real status, to be verified
A text amending law 18-00 on co-ownership — widely referred to in the press and by professionals as "law 30-24" — was unanimously adopted by the Chamber of Representatives on July 9, 2024. Among other things, it introduces a mandatory conciliation attempt before any legal action by the property manager, lets one or more co-owners convene a general assembly themselves with 15 days' notice, and requires assembly decisions to be notified within 8 days.
Meeting notices and notifications over WhatsApp
Whether or not the reform applies, nothing stops a property manager from digitizing meeting notices and reports today. A WhatsApp message sent to every co-owner with the date, time and agenda of the assembly replaces a paper notice slipped under the door or sent by registered mail — with an immediate read receipt instead of a postal proof-of-deposit slip to keep.
- General assembly notice sent via WhatsApp to every co-owner, with a read receipt
- Minutes distributed automatically after the assembly, with no manual re-entry of each address
- Automatic reminders ahead of a charges deadline, before an unpaid balance builds up over several months
A co-owner portal
An online portal accessible to every co-owner centralizes what today circulates on paper or in scattered exchanges: the latest minutes, the status of charges (paid, pending, overdue), and the building's documents (bylaws, insurance). The property manager saves time on repeated requests ("what's my balance?", "can you send me the last minutes?"), since the answer is already available at any time.
Following up on unpaid charges
Manually tracking unpaid charges (a spreadsheet, individual calls) becomes hard to keep up once a building passes a few dozen units. An automatic follow-up — a WhatsApp reminder at the due date, then a second one after a set delay if unpaid — reduces how many cases reach the litigation stage, exactly the stage where mandatory conciliation would kick in if the reform comes into force.
A concrete example: a building in Agadir
For a roughly 40-unit building in Agadir, digitizing meeting notices and unpaid-charge follow-up over WhatsApp is a simple automation, starting at 3,000 MAD. A full co-owner portal (documents, charge status, minutes history) is a custom platform, quoted based on the number of units and the features chosen.
