Common Property: An Important Element of Living in a Property Owners' Association
Today, we, at Hochheiden Property Management, want to shed light on a crucial aspect of living in a property owners' association: common property. Our goal is to provide you with a better understanding of the importance and management of common property to enhance community living and optimize the administration of our residential complexes.
What is Common Property?
Common property refers to those parts of a residential complex that do not belong to an individual owner but rather to the property owners' association as a whole. This typically includes:
The land and structural components of the building (e.g., facade, roof, staircase).
Common facilities and amenities (e.g., heating system, laundry room, garden areas).
Other areas that are of importance to the entire building.
The Importance of Common Property
Common property plays a central role in the coexistence of a property owners' association. It contributes to the overall value of the property and requires careful management and maintenance.
Management of Common Property
As part of the property owners' association, you have a say in the management of common property.
