What is a condominium?
The word condominium generally means sharing ownership with others. A condominium is legal arrangement whereby multiple owners share ownership of real property. A portion of t…he property in the form of units is individually owned and the rest of the property is owned in common with all the unit owners subject to the provisions of the Declaration that created the condominium and to the provisions of state law. Generally, a condominium project is a form of fee ownership by which several owners share ownership of a building(s) by each owning their respective units. In addition to their unit, each owns a proportionate interest in the land that forms the condominium property and common areas of the condominium such as pools, recreation areas, game rooms, community rooms, elevators, stairwells, corridors, streets, surrounding land, laundry rooms, and unassigned parking areas. By the acceptance of their unit deed each unit owner agrees to have their unit subject to the provisions in the Master Deed. Although a condominium is governed by statutory law, can promulgate rules and regulations and assess monthly maintenance fees, the ownership of a condominium unit is considered a fee simple estate.
