A common area is, in real estate or real property law, the "area which is available for use by more than one person..."〔(St. George.com glossary ) 〕 The common areas are those "within a building that are available for common use by all tenants, (or) groups of tenants and their invitees."〔(Fx Realty web site ) 〕 〔(kwcondo ) 〕 In Texas and other parts of the United States, it is "An area inside a housing development that is owned by all residents or by an overall management structure which charges each tenant for maintenance and upkeep."〔(Pride of Texas web site ) 〕〔(Common Area ). laws.com retrieved from real-estate.laws.com Accessed 28 November 2012.〕 Common areas often exist in apartments, gated communities, condominiums, cooperatives and shopping malls.〔 〕 In any situation where there is a tenancy in common, all the tenants in common collectively own the common areas, meaning that any one individual owner does not possess more control over the land than any other owner.〔(City of davis web site ) 〕 This differs from a commons or common land, as used in English law, which is owned by one person, but which may be used by a group of persons. ==Examples== Examples of common areas include: # lobbies,〔 〔Tracy, William, Understanding Common and Useable Areas, found at (Building Area Measurement LLC web site ) Accessed May 8, 2008.〕 # corridors,〔 〔 # stairways,〔 〔 # parking lots, spots, ramps, or other such areas,〔''United Housing Foundation, Inc. v.
