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. Is there anything in the Act which says who has the responsibility for keeping these parking spaces clean? Dusty Rhodes. Dear Inquirer: "Since I live in a condo, I have a ques- tion."

Since, "you, as an owner are responsible for keeping everything that the description says in Sec. 41-(4) is part of your unit," it also goes on the say in the same Section 41- (3) that "The corporation must maintain or keep in good repair everything except the units." "A tenant is of time, as by payment of rent." What they are really trying to say is that the Unit Owners together own all the common elements. The Introduction to the Apt defines com- mon elements as "all those parts of the con- dominium which are not included in the unit.
