Best Answer

Typically, in a condominium, the owner owns 'from the paint in' or some other dividing line: studs, wallboard, etc. The association owns everything else. The boundary is defined in your CC&Rs.

What you are describing -- a shared stairwell -- sounds like a limited common area that is owned by the association. It is a common area that is available for use by fewer than all owners.

The liability may belong to the association. However, if you participated in any way in the stranger's accident, you may indeed, be liable.
