FAQ

Limited common areas and facilities means those common areas and facilities designated in the declaration as reserved for use of a certain unit or units to the exclusion of the other units.

For instance, in Pennsylvania, HOAs are regulated by the Uniformed Planned Community Act (UPCA). This act applies to all planned communities with more than 12 units and creates responsibilities for HOAs to oversee these communities. That said, HOAs typically have documents that regulate themselves.

In some states, such as California, HOA bylaws are considered public record and must be made available upon request.

Although the developer of a new neighborhood may incorporate an association and subject all of the lots to mandatory membership before the lots are sold, you will need to obtain the homeowners' consent if title to their property was not subject to a mandatory association when they acquired their homes.

In Florida, balconies, parking spaces, storage units, and even areas of a shared clubhouse have been considered limited common elements; as mentioned above, the defining characteristic is that they are for the use of a single unit “to the exclusion of all other units.”

A common area is some shared space or amenity between unit owners or shareholders of a common interest development (CID). In housing CIDs, common areas can include things such as yard space, a basketball court, pool, laundry room, or a mail room.

A common element is defined as all portions of the property except the units. Examples of common elements include fitness centers, elevators, lobbies, walkways, lighting in common hallways, garbage collection areas, swimming pools, landscaping, club houses, and more.

The Common Interest Ownership Act (CIOA) defines a “limited common element” as “a portion of the common elements allocated … for the exclusive use of one or more but fewer than all of the units.” The key phrase here is exclusive use.
