1. What is a condominium? 7. What do not form part of the condominium
unit?
A condominium, according to the law, is an “interest in
a real property consisting of a separate interest in a In most cases, areas that are not found inside the unit

An exception to the list are those outlets that are

be Filipino-owned and controlled. In addition to that
restriction, foreigners and foreign corporations are, by
law, prohibited to own land. 8. Can I freely sell my unit?

Yes. That is not prohibited in the condominium law.

3. Who can own condominium units? When you sell your unit, however, you are not just
selling the unit itself, you are also selling your interest

virtue of the Condominium Act, are allowed to
purchase and acquire condominium units.
9. Can I freely sell my condominium?

4. What is my stake in a condominium? Not exactly. Selling a unit may be simple, but selling a
condominium is restricted by certain rules under
As a unit owner, you are, in essence, a co-owner of the Condominium Act. One of such restrictions is the

10. Can I mortgage my unit for a loan?

6. Am I allowed to alter anything beyond the
boundaries of my unit? Yes. The condominium law states that “each
condominium owner shall have the exclusive right to

not, sell, exchange, lease, or otherwise dispose of the
common areas of a condominium without the approval
of the simple majority of the registered owners,
subject as well, to the approval of the Housing and
Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB).

12. The Condominium Act stipulates that the

owners can sell the condominium after 50 years.
Does that mean that I will not have any say in the
sale?

No, that is not the case. Upon turnover of the unit to

you, you become a member of the corporation that
owns the condominium. Hence, your concurrence or
dissent on the matter will count. If, however, it has
been decided that the building shall be sold, then you
will be compensated your appropriate share from the
proceeds of the sale.

13. Who owns the common areas in a

condominium?

Generally, titles to the common areas are held by a

corporation formed for the purpose. However, the
condominium law also states that the common areas
are held in common by the unit holders, in equal
share for each unit.

14. What are my rights as a condominium unit

owner?

Aside from those already mentioned, the only other

right you have as a unit owner is the right to renovate
your unit, for as long as all renovations are done
within the boundaries of your unit. All restrictions on
your rights and activities are those that are stipulated
in the declaration of restrictions or on the contract you
signed upon the turnover of the unit to you.

15. I own a condominium building, and I want to

amend or revoke the master deed. May I do so
without reservation?

No. The Condominium Act states that you can only do

this upon the registration of an instrument (a formal
legal document) executed by a simple majority of the
registered owners of the property. In this case, a
