    How are dividing walls between adjacent units treated legally?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    According to Article (9), the dividing walls between two adjacent units are shared by the Owners of both Units. However, this shared status only applies if those walls are officially part of the Common Parts. This article also establishes that each unit is entitled to a right of way through other plots or common areas. These provisions help resolve potential disputes regarding boundaries and access rights between neighbours in Jointly Owned Real Property.
