In apartment buildings with several owners, there are always questions about the maintenance of the common property. Who bears the costs of repairs and what obligations do owners have?<\/p>\n
What counts as community property?
\nCommon property includes all parts of the building that are owned jointly by several owners, including<\/p>\n
Roof, fa\u00e7ade and exterior walls
\nStairwells, corridors and elevators
\nTechnical systems such as heating or water supply<\/p>\n
What repairs does the community of owners pay for?
\nIn principle, the community of owners is responsible for the maintenance of the common property. The costs are financed via the house fee paid by each owner.<\/p>\n
What happens in the event of damage to separate property?
\nInterior areas of an apartment are considered separate property. Damage to floors, windows or sanitary facilities must be borne by the respective owner.<\/p>\n
Conclusion
\nClear regulations in the German Condominium Act (WEG) stipulate who pays for which repairs. Owners should regularly inform themselves about resolutions passed at the owners' meeting to avoid overlooking unexpected costs.
