What are limited common elements?

Limited common elements are defined as any aspects of a shared condominium complex that are part of a unit, but are not considered to be the sole property of the owner or tenant. Limited common elements may include things that are directly connected to individual condominiums such as outer doors, windows, and balconies.

Who owns a limited common element?

Like other common elements, a limited common element is owned jointly by all of the unit owners (in a condominium) or by an organization of which all the unit owners are members (in a planned community or cooperative). But unlike other common elements, the use of a limited common element is restricted to only certain unit owners.
