Common Elements

🏢 What Are Common Elements?

Common Elements are parts of the condo property that are shared by all unit owners and

maintained by the condo corporation. These typically include:

✅ Examples of Common Elements:

• Hallways and stairwells

• Lobbies and entrances

• Elevators

• Parking garages and driveways

• Exterior walls, roofs, and windows (in some condos)

• Landscaping and outdoor areas

• Garbage rooms and chutes

• HVAC systems (if shared)

• Plumbing and electrical systems outside the unit boundaries

❌ Not Considered Common Elements (Unit Owner Responsibility):

• Inside your condo unit (e.g., drywall, flooring, light fixtures)

• Plumbing or electrical issues within your unit boundaries

• Appliances (fridge, stove, washer, etc.)

• Toilets, sinks, and bathtubs

• Doors and windows (in some condos — check your declaration)
