ABSTRACT
The Act defines ‘common property’ somewhat unhelpfully as ‘so much of the property as is not contained within the boundaries of any unit’. The FHA Model Act is much more specific, and states that the common property is to include, inter alia: (a) the land on which the building is located; (b) all structural members, bearing walls, lobbies, roofs, halls, corridors, stairways, etc; (c) basements, yards, gardens, parking and storage space; (d) caretakers’ lodgings; (e) central utilities such as power, water, air conditioning; and (f) all other parts of the property normally in common use.
