All of the condominium complexes or units form a part of the community, and owners within it are required to follow and accept the rules and regulations that have been made unique to a particular condo living. In addition, al though, owners have control over their respective condominium units, they are required to share the cost and expenses incurred for utilizing property's common facilities, such as, elevators, lobbies, library, and passageways.
