No transfer while the unit owes money
Transfer a unit only once the departing owner's common and reserve balances are settled, then issue the clearance certificate.

Outcome
The transfer is refused while a balance is outstanding, and the certificate is built from the last finalised statement with its issue written to the audit trail.

How it works
Transfer a unit to a new owner and the departing owner's balance is checked first — common fund and reserve fund, including opening balances and levies. Any outstanding amount blocks the transfer with the figures named; a clearance certificate PDF documents the position as at the date. On transfer, the departing ownership record ends the day before, the new owner starts at €0.00, and the history stays on the unit.
It depends on the country. In Cyprus the management committee can typically issue a certificate of outstanding common expenses for the transfer at the Department of Lands and Surveys; in Spain the seller presents a certificate of being up to date with the comunidad (Ley de Propiedad Horizontal, art. 9). Confirm with the competent authority. Either way the manager needs the balance as at a date, per owner, per fund.
Choose Transfer on the unit. Before anything changes, the departing owners' balances are fetched from the same engine that produces statements — opening balances and reserve levies included. If any is above zero, the transfer is refused with the figures: 'Common fund €71.05, Reserve fund €0.00 (Total €71.05). A clearance certificate is required.' Ending an ownership without a transfer is checked the same way. There is no override button.
Owner, building, unit, ownership share, date, managing company. A balance summary per owner of the unit: share, common fund, reserve fund, total. A status banner — 'Cleared — no outstanding obligations' — and a signature line for the company's representative. A footnote that the certificate reflects the balance as at its date and waives nothing after it. Each certificate carries a number.
Every current ownership record ends the day before the transfer date; the new owner's record starts on it with the share you enter. For a full transfer the unit's opening balances are set to €0.00, so the buyer inherits nothing. A partial transfer — one of two co-owners selling — keeps them. The unit's ownership history shows each record with its dates, and the transfer is audited.
