## What do you think? Question:

Some of condos are classified as four-plex, whereby there are four units (two up, two down) and the hallways are considered "commons area." However, we want to know if their front door is considered as property of owner or part of commons areas, and whose responsibility would it be to pay for changing an inoperable lock? Owner or Association. It is not clearly spelled out in by-laws whose responsibility this falls under The hallways are common are, cleaning and maintenance of appearance is paid for by owners. They share one common entry. Thank you.
