Notice period for the owners' meeting in Ecuador

Short answer

The call is made in a written document, at least eight working days before the meeting date, stating the place, the date, the hour and the matters to be dealt with.

What the law says

Original wording of the law (Spanish). The summary and the notes around it are ours.

La convocatoria se efectuará mediante documento escrito, con ocho días hábiles por lo menos de anticipación a la fecha de reunión, en la que constarán, el lugar, la fecha, la hora y los asuntos a tratarse en la sesión.
Provision: Reglamento General de la Ley de Propiedad Horizontal, art. 37 · Official text

What this means in practice

The text requires a written document and names no channel, so it should not be said that an e-mail or app notice is valid or invalid. Ordinary sessions are held once per calendar year, within the first three months; extraordinary sessions deal only with the matters named in the call. A decree of August 2026 replaced other parts of the same regulation; the passage on notice quoted here is not among them.

General information, not legal advice. Check with a lawyer in Ecuador 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.
