What this means in practice

The sentence quoted is the part of the law that sets the advance notice and the ways of delivery. The same law lets owners decide some matters by written consultation, sent to the e-mail or address registered with the administration after an information session. The rest of the call rules should be read in the full article.

General information, not legal advice. Check with a lawyer in Chile before relying on it, and read your building's own documents: they can change how a rule applies.

Where Unitify fits

Unitify sends announcements and meeting notices to residents and keeps a record of what went out and when. Whether a notice is valid, in its channel, deadline and content, depends on the law above and on your own rules. Unitify does not make a notice valid.
