    How is an owner�s interest in common parts determined?

    Under Article (11), every owner holds an undivided interest in the building's Common Parts. This interest is calculated based on the ratio of the Unit area to the total area of the jointly owned real property. This percentage is critical because it often determines the owner's share of the Service Charges and their influence in community decisions. The law ensures that every owner has a legal stake in the shared facilities proportional to their private investment.
