Dear Condofax: Perhaps you can tell me whether there is anything in the Condominium Act that deals with parking spaces. In our corpora- tion we used to have a rule about the owners keeping their assigned parking spaces clean. Our rules were recently changed and there was nothing in them which deals with park- ing spaces.

The Introduction to the Apt defines com- mon elements as "all those parts of the con- dominium which are not included in the unit.
