An example of a condo is a large apartment building where you own your individual apartment but also share in the maintenance of the building's roof, hallways, lobby, elevators, driveway, landscaping, pools, fitness center, and other amenities.
Generally, a inium is a private residence that is rented out to tenants, it can be a flat/apartment or an independent house. But in modern use 'condo' is referred to apartments and flats only. Plus, iniums are owned and rented by individuals so renting a condo is more of a personal, one-on-one process.
The biggest difference between a condo and an apartment is ownership. An apartment is defined as a residence that is rented, often as part of a larger residential building. A condo can be similar in structure to an apartment — usually a unit within a larger residential building — but condos are owned instead of rented.
