Hello and welcome to a new article which we hope you\u2019ll find interesting. Today we\u2019re going to talk about how to make better use of some of the communal areas in your residents\u2019 association. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sooner or later, all communities are faced with the problem of how to make the best use of the estate\u2019s communal areas, and from Southern<\/a> We\u2019d like to put forward a few ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you make better use of the communal areas in your building?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The most important thing is to define what is meant by \u2018communal space\u2019 in a building and which activities are permitted and compatible within such spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A homeowners\u2019 association is one established on land subject to horizontal property ownership. It comprises both communal and private areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this specific type of property, as set out in the Article 396 of the Civil Code<\/a>, we can identify each individual unit (flat, commercial premises, storage room, parking space, etc.) and the co-ownership, together with the other owners of flats or premises, of the remaining common elements, assets and services  
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 the sole and exclusive right of ownership over a sufficiently defined and independently usable space, together with the architectural features and facilities of all kinds situated within its boundaries and serving the owner exclusively.<\/p>Article 396 of the Civil Code<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How are they defined in Article 3 of the Condominium Act?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Private areas are the exclusive property of their owners, who have the right to use and enjoy them, and may transfer them to other people. Each and every one of them is expressly described in the deed of horizontal division.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common elements are those which, by their nature or purpose, are necessary for the use and enjoyment of the building as a whole and of its specific elements in particular. Although they may be described in the title deed, anything not described in the title as a private element is presumed to be a common element. They belong to all or some of the owners. These include:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
