Evolution of Aslic Contributions: protest and Proposals

At the meeting of the Syndicat de l'Aslic on 30 January 2025, the Aslic presented a comparative analysis of the evolution of the loads of a two-room apartment between 2011 and 2024. This analysis, based on operating costs only, concludes that the increase in expenses was minimal and below the inflation rate over the period.

Critical Points Raised by a delegate

A delegate disputes the relevance and scope of the analysis presented by Aslic, raising several critical points:

Relevance of comparison

A delegate questioned the comparison between 2011 and 2024, pointing out that the analysis does not take into account post-2011 developments which have impacted charges.

Recovery of administrative tasks by Citya (2018 and 2022): The recovery of administrative tasks previously outsourced to Aslic by syndic Citya resulted in a reduction in the workload of Aslic. These tasks represent a full-time equivalent and administrative costs estimated at €60,000 (2016 value).

Transfer of household charges to condominiums (2020): The transfer of household charges, previously billed by Aslic, to condominiums has also changed the structure of charges. The estimated cost of these expenses before transfer was at least €55,000.

Scope of the analysis

The analysis is limited to the expenses of Grande Copropriété, excluding expenses related to sports and collective equipment, as well as animation.

Evolution of personnel and operating expenses: The analysis does not take into account the evolution of personnel costs (swimming pool, cleaning common areas Aslic), operation costs of the swimming pool, energy and maintenance, , which increased significantly from €115,000 in 2011 to €201,000 in 2024.

Transfer of budgets: The transfer of some budgets from Grande Copropriété to sports and collective facilities in 2024, excluding them de facto from the analysis, also skews the results.

Consequences and proposals of a delegate

Non-rigorous analysis: One delegate felt that the Aslic’s analysis is not only incomplete, but also not rigorous because it ignores important components of loads.

Management rationale: He suggests that the analysis aims to justify a management of expenses that does not correspond to reality, rather than objectively informing the co-owners.

Inappropriate comparison: A delegate pointed out that charges should not be compared to inflation, but rather to the changing needs of co-owners.

Excess charges: It highlights the excess charges levied by Aslic, which have constituted a "war chest" of 450,000 €, of which 192,000 € are recognised as unjustified.

Proposals by a delegate for more pragmatic management

In-depth analysis of actual needs: 

A delegate proposes an in-depth analysis of the actual needs of the Aslic, taking into account past developments and the potential decrease in requirements compared to 2011.

Precise identification of resources: It recommends to identify precisely the human and financial resources needed to carry out all the tasks of the ASLIC, in line with real needs.

Long-term planning: A delegate stressed the need to plan and plan for maintenance or replacement of Aslic equipment, taking into account its obsolescence and aging.

Conclusion

A delegate and other co-owners dispute the validity of the analysis presented by Aslic, considering it incomplete and not reflecting the real evolution of charges. They propose a more rigorous and transparent approach, based on an in-depth analysis of real needs and long-term planning, to ensure a more responsible management of charges for the benefit of all co-owners.
