A importância da mediação como método de resolução de conflito extrajudicial nas cobranças de cotas condominiais

Abstract

This study focuses on the relevance of mediation in resolving conflicts related to condominium quotas, given the growing disputes. In this context, the method selected to address this topic was hypothetical-deductive, focusing on the analysis of extrajudicial conflict resolution approaches, especially related to the default of condominium owners in paying condominium fees. This approach aims to promote the creation of a Social Pact that seeks to improve housing and security conditions, something that would be difficult to achieve through isolated efforts. Thus, this research was carried out through an extensive literature review, encompassing analyzes of websites, books, legislation and scientific articles. The objective is to understand how mediation can be applied accurately and effectively in resolving conflicts that frequently arise in condominiums, especially those related to shared expenses and the division of resources intended for the maintenance and conservation of common areas, known as condominium shares. Therefore, condominium default, with its financial burden and associated interpersonal tensions, represents a critical challenge that affects the financial stability of condominiums. Furthermore, the congestion in the Brazilian judicial system makes legal solutions time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, the research is justified by the need to identify effective approaches to dealing with default, promoting financial stability and harmony in condominium communities, while at the same time contributing with practical guidance for professionals and legislators interested in improving condominium management and conflict resolution, offering benefits such as speed, efficiency and preservation of interpersonal relationships.
