    Can multiple owners of a unit be forced to share a common wall?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    In buildings where units are adjacent, the dividing walls between them have a specific legal status. These walls are considered Common Parts and are legally shared by the Owners of both Units. This ensures that neither owner can unilaterally alter or damage the structural wall that separates their properties. This rule maintains the structural integrity of the building and ensures that shared boundaries are managed as part of the building's collective interest rather than as purely private property.
