Tips for Condo and Townhouse Repairs

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Wazir Khoja

If you own a condo or a townhouse, you should be a responsible owner to ensure that your life in that vicinity is comfortable and safe. You are not just responsible for your own unit but also fro the common or public area of the property. But first, you have to determine the difference between a condo and a townhouse.

If you buy a condo unit, it means you are buying a unit in a building. Your ownership extends within the walls of the unit. The hallways, yards, parking spaces, and so on are common elements of the condo building. This means that these parts are also used by the owners of the other condo units in the building. On the other hand, buying a townhouse means you are buying a unit from a complex. Your property extends to the yard, the land where your townhouse sits in, and the air above your town home. Townhouses are right next to each other, meaning you do not have any upstairs or downstairs neighbour, only next door neighbours.

Because of these features, condo and townhouse repairs might be a bit more complicated than repairing a regular detached property. To help you understand condo and townhouse repairs, here are some useful tips and information that you should know.

- First, you have to determine your own property. As what was stated earlier, there is a difference between the condo and townhouse ownership. If you know up to what extent you own, you will avoid spending money and time on repairs are not your responsibilities. For the condo owners, you own anything within the walls of your unit. For the townhouse owners, you own the yard, the land where your unit is built, and the space directly above your unit.

- You should also determine the common elements of the building or the complex. Usually, this includes the halls (in the case of condo units), parking lots, elevators, outdoor lighting, swimming pools, and other features and amenities. The condominium or town house association is usually responsible for the upkeep of these common elements. Make sure that you know not just your responsibilities but also the responsibilities of the association.

- Be careful when repairing something that may cause damage to your neighbours' units. For example, if your own faucet is leaking, and for some reason, the leak reached your next door neighbour's condo unit, you have to pay for the damages. Or if you hammered a nail into the common wall and it caused a slight crack on your next door neighbour's side of the wall, you are also the one who need to shoulder the repair. Living in a condo or townhouse requires you to think not just for your own good but also for the people who live in the complex or building.

- Condo and townhouse owners pay a monthly association fee. You have to know what you are paying for. Usually, the fee covers big condo and townhouse repairs in your property such as roof problems, landscape issues, and sometimes even troubles with the heating and cooling systems in each unit. This is one of the advantages of living in a condo or townhouse over living in rented apartment.
