condominium
n. An individual residential or commercial unit in a multi-unit building wherein each unit's owner also owns the common areas, such as the hallways and elevators, as a tenant in common with the other units' owners.
See also cooperative.

Webster's New World Law Dictionary. . 2000.

condominium
n.
   title to a unit of real property which, in reality, is the airspace which an apartment, office or store occupies. An increasingly common form of property title in a multi-unit project, condominiums actually date back to ancient Rome, hence the Latin name. The owner of the condominium also owns a common tenancy with owners of other units in the common area, which includes all the driveways, parking, elevators, outside hallways, recreation and landscaped areas, which are managed by a homeowners' or tenant's association. If the condominium unit is destroyed by fire or other disaster, the owner has the right to rebuild in his/her airspace. Most states have adopted statutes to cover special issues involving development, construction, management and taxation of condominium projects.
   See also: common area
