Preliminary remarks

Every community and therefore every community of owners of a closed housing estate (Barrio Cerrado) needs rules to organize living and working together. We currently have an unclear situation with regard to such a set of rules, which acts like a paralysis and blocks the necessary cooperation of all those involved, although there are three such regulations.

The old condominium agreement:

There has been a condominium agreement in place since 2020. This was de facto reduced to absurdity by the actions of the people to whom it was supposed to apply and has thus lost its legitimacy and effectiveness. The analysis presented here is also intended to prove this.

El Reglamento depositado en el Catastro Público:

This Reglamento was deliberately withheld from the future owners by Reljuv S.A. and the executing notary during the property transfer procedures, although it was listed in the deed as an implicitly valid document. This document would be the legally binding reglamento at the time of the creation of a community of owners by the first constituent general assembly of all owners. It was withheld from the signatories by Reljuv S.A. because it actually wants to implement a different Reglamento. The Spanish version of this document and an automatically generated German translation are available in the login area. As the association believes that this document is also unsuitable to remedy the current situation, no time will be spent analysing it.

It is only available in Spanish: 2024_REGLAMENTO_DE_RELJUV.pdf

 

The new draft Reglamento of the company Reljuv S.A.

Reljuv presented its draft for a new Reglamento Interno for the first time on 13 June 2025, presented the currently valid Reglamento for the first time in the same context and attempted to put it to the vote on 28 June 2025 in a very questionable manner. This was initially prevented by the unity of the Comunidad Creativa. An analysis of this draft by Reljuv S.A. is also available.

 

None of the documents cited so far are suitable to lead the project out of the crisis.

For this reason, the Comunidad Creativa association is presenting its own draft, which aims to unite as many people as possible with their ideas of a community in a closed housing estate. It consists of a whole series of documents, which are listed below.

We are publicising all our efforts because we are convinced that the many examples of successful open source development in IT and other areas show that it is possible to achieve good, sustainable results before the eyes of the public.

 

1. technical description (declaration of division)

The basic prerequisite for all further steps is the best possible knowledge of the object for which the community of owners is assuming joint responsibility. This should take the form of a detailed technical description of the common facilities. This document is to be prepared by the previous operator of the housing project, Reljuv S.A.. 

Since, unlike in Germany or other European countries, there are no precise specifications here as to what such a document should look like, Comunidad Creativa has compiled a catalog of questions and requirements, which has been made available to Reljuv S.A. in order to meet the minimum requirements for such a technical description. 

Current Version: 04.06.2025 - Technical_Description_v3.pdf

Without a detailed technical description of the communal facilities, any attempt to transfer responsibility for these communal facilities to the community of owners can only be classified as unprofessional, inappropriate to the complexity of the subject matter and unsuitable. 

2. reglamento for the community of owners

Every community of owners in a barrio cerrado needs a reglamento that regulates the cooperation of the members of the community of owners in the maintenance and further development of the community facilities. An operational administration must be formed to manage the day-to-day tasks and, if possible, supervisory bodies to safeguard the interests of the general assembly of all owners and owners in relation to this administration. Praguayan law provides guidelines for this, similar to those in the European countries of origin of the investors. 

In the view of Comunidad Creativa, these legal requirements alone should form the basis for this Reglamento. An initial version was already commissioned by the then Chairman of the Board, Juan Buker, when the Barrio Cerrado “Paraiso Verde” was submitted to the public Catastro and was attached to the project application as a necessary prerequisite. Following Mr. Buker's departure from the board, it was necessary to update this Reglamento, which was done in January 2024.

The condominium agreement, which was previously signed unilaterally by the investors as a voluntary commitment, is composed of 

  • management regulations
  • disciplinary rules for investors
  • Provisions in the nature of house rules

is not a suitable basis for such a reglamento. The Comunidad is therefore working on its own version based solely on Paraguayan law.

3. guiding principles of community life 

This document is THE flagship of this community. It is intended to describe in a procedural manner the ideals of living together that we strive for and how we want to overcome the difficulties that arise in the process, without being able to rely on the crutches of paragraphs that never really do justice to a specific situation. These guidelines deliberately dispense with any exclusionary rules, of which the Condominium Agreement to date has many.

4. house rules

All people staying in the Barrio Cerrado should, as far as possible, adhere to very basic rules of conduct, as summarized in the house rules known from almost all public institutions. At best, this document should be 2 A4 pages for everyone to see how we expect adults to behave here. Such details do not belong in a reglamento or in the guiding principles of a community
