This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

The judgment is legally justified which decides that the owners of commercial and residential units in a co-ownership building that also includes hotel or office units must bear, in part, the charges relating to the collective security service, since, after noting that under the regulations applicable to high-rise buildings, the existence of hotel or office units required a collective service with a larger staff than would be sufficient if the building comprised only commercial or residential units, the judgment finds that this enhanced service was of greater utility to the hotel or office units.
