Therefore, including that separate unit as common area, in determining of the corresponding amount of money for each owner, alters the actual monetary amount and the co-ownership ratio. Such an erroneous practice in the apportionment of expenses related to the common areas, which often goes unnoticed, may lead to conflicts and disagreements among co-owners and may give rise to civil liability due negligence.
