Legal Definitions - condominia

Condominia refers to co-ownership or limited ownership of a property in civil law. It is more than just having rights in the property, as it is considered part of the dominium of the property.

Examples of condominia include:

• Emphyteusis
• Superficies
• Pignus
• Hypotheca
• Usufructus
• Usus
• Habitatio

These examples illustrate how different forms of co-ownership or limited ownership can exist within a property. For instance, emphyteusis is a long-term lease where the lessee has the right to use and enjoy the property as if they were the owner, while superficies is the right to build on or use the surface of a property without owning the underlying land.
