No, there is not. All these denominations are different ways to call the same kind of company that basically consists in a limited responsibility company (i.e., the shareholders are responsible up to the limit of their respective share capital), with a minimum permitted capital of 3,006 EUR.
Yes, you are, since the law says the expenses will be deemed as general even if they are not imputable to one or various properties within the community, nor shall the non-usage of a facility bring exemption from the fulfilment of the maintenance obligations. However, you may want to have a look at the community’s bylaws and/or approved rules or decisions of the Owners General Meetings in the past, as these could have validly changed such general rule.
Yes, you can, but only if you have the approval of the Owners General Meeting.
If it is seriously detrimental for your interests and you can also bring together 25 % of the owners and shares, the Law allows you to claim at the court in order that the decision is annulled even if it was validly voted by the majority. Ask us to tell you how.
No you cannot, as you are entitled to have and enjoy one permanencia in a calendar year. If you ask for a second permanencia in February 2.011 this would mean having two permanencias in the same year.

The recently approved new Reform of the Law for Leases ( Ley 19/2009) has solved this old dilemma. It clearly indicates that in case the parties have not stated otherwise, the tenant’s address for official notices is the rented property.

Non EU resident persons can apply for a Spanish residency permit, including long term one, when they have a house in Spain, but apart from that they also need several other requisites, such as proof of financial means (800 € or more per month per person), a Visa for residency application issued by the Spanish Consulate in your country, and some other medical and official certificates of good standing concerning health and good behaviour in your original country
Yes it could. It is quite normal that the bank made you sign a document saying that the repayment of the loan originally given to you was protected with the mortgage on the property but also with your personal guaranty, meaning you could be forced to pay the due instalments if the bank chooses to claim these from you instead of repossessing the property, or even in case where the repossession does not cover the debt outstanding.
It is not that automatic. First of all you must apply for her legal reunion with you in Spain at the Spanish authorities of your place of residence, then after you get an official permission for her, your wife must request a Visa at the Spanish consulate or embassy of her place of residence in Russia, and finally your wife is given a term of two months since the date of her Visa to request her residence permit in Spain. You and your wife will need to prove you have sufficient economic resources to live in Spain during your initial residence term, including a home and medical insurance. Your wife must bring a official certificate from her Country’s authorities showing she has no criminal records.
