On Condominium Ownership

The system of Ownership of Apartment Building has been approved by the law long before in the western countries and it has deep-rooted theoretical basis. But the study of it is still at the first stage in our country. Therefore, it is necessary to take a systematic study into it to perfect the Civil Law of our country and better protect the civil rights. Considering the relevant prescription and theories on this system in China and other countries, the ownership of apartment building is a compound real estate ownership. If defined by the Trinity Theory, it is a right composed of the exclusive right, the co-ownership and the ownership. The characteristics and condition of the building should be taken into consideration while deciding the range of the co-ownership while exercising the rights and offering relief of rights, but it's different because of the special characteristics of buildings. This conception of the system should contribute to the theoretical development of the system in our country and the legislative improvement and to the protection of civil rights in our country.
