Royal Elm Private Co-Tenancy Association
The 19 homeowners of Royal Elm Private form the Royal Elm Private Co-Tenancy Association (REPCTA). In addition to owning their individual properties, each owner owns a one-nineteenth share of the shared lands. These lands consist of the street, shared utilities under the street, visitor parking area, the walkway connecting the street with Hunt Club Road an
d the lands adjacent to city properties on Hunt Club and Albion Roads. Responsibility for maintenance of these areas are shared by all the homeowners by contributing equally to a common maintenance fund. To save on maintenance costs, some owners maintain areas of grass adjacent to their properties. Financial and maintenance tasks are handled by an executive committee consisting of a President, Secretary and Treasurer. At minimum, owners hold an annual general meeting to elect executive officers and decide on financial and other issues such as maintenance of the shared areas and parking problems.
