Under ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐จ. ๐๐๐๐, also known as the ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐๐๐ญ, a condominium owner does not only own the individual unit. The owner also has a shared interest in the common areas of the condominium project.

A responsible condo owner should understand that association dues are part of condominium ownership. They help protect not only the buildingโs daily operations, but also the long-term value of the property.
