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.
Etymology. inium is an invented Latin word formed by adding the prefix con- 'together' to the word dominium 'dominion, ownership'. Its meaning is, therefore, 'joint dominion' or 'co-ownership'.
A inium (or condo for short) is an ownership regime in which a building (or group of buildings) is divided into multiple units that are either each separately owned, or owned in common with exclusive rights of occupation by individual owners.
If a building "goes inium" it changes from having rented apartments to having owned apartments.
An apartment building in which each apartment is owned separately by the people living in it, but also containing shared areas.
