One of these is to physically divide the property, but this is not always possible or practical. Another option is to sell the property and split the proceeds between the owners. However, the latter may not be desirable if some of the owners want to keep the property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A common solution for property division is to divide the property into different parts; each owner will have exclusive rights to one or more parts.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For example, in a condominium complex, each unit generally belongs to an individual owner. On the other hand, the common areas, such as the swimming pool, gym and parking lot belong to all the owners as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The division of the property may be determined by the percentage of ownership held by each owner, or by agreement between the owners. For example, if there are three owners, they could agree that each has exclusive rights to one-third of the property.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Right_of_use\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Right of use<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In addition to the division of common property, <a href=\"https:\/\/traders.studio\/propiedad-de-propiedad-compartida\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">joint ownership<\/a> also implies the right to use the property. The right of use can be exclusive or shared, and can be determined in several ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exclusive_use\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Exclusive use<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If an owner has exclusive use of a part of the property, he has the right to use that part without interference from other owners. For example, in a condominium complex, each owner normally has exclusive use of his or her unit, but shared use of the common areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sharing\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sharing<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If an owner has shared the use of a portion of the property, he must share that portion with other owners. This can create problems if there are disagreements about how the shared part should be used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For example, if two homeowners share a backyard, one of them may want to plant a garden. However, the other may want to use the space for a barbecue area. In these situations, it is important that the owners reach an agreement on how the shared space will be used.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restrictions_on_use\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Restrictions on use<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In some cases, the right of use may be restricted. For example, in a condominium complex, there may be rules about the use of common areas, such as the pool, gym or parking lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">These rules may limit the hours of the day when facilities may be used. Or they may prohibit certain activities such as smoking or listening to loud music.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enforcing_common_property_rights\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Enforcing common property rights<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34095\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34095\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34093 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cblspanishlawyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hacer-cumplir-los-derechos-de-cosa-comun.jpg\" alt=\"Enforcing common property rights\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hacer-cumplir-los-derechos-de-cosa-comun.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hacer-cumplir-los-derechos-de-cosa-comun-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hacer-cumplir-los-derechos-de-cosa-comun-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hacer-cumplir-los-derechos-de-cosa-comun-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hacer-cumplir-los-derechos-de-cosa-comun-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hacer-cumplir-los-derechos-de-cosa-comun-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hacer-cumplir-los-derechos-de-cosa-comun-760x507.jpg 760w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34095\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enforcing common property rights<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When it comes to enforcing common property rights, there are several strategies to apply.

In addition, damages may be sought for any damage caused by the interference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If there are disagreements about how the shared part of the property should be used, the owners can try to reach an agreement through negotiation or mediation.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If this is unsuccessful, they may have to take legal action to resolve the dispute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sharing a property can create challenges when it comes to the division of common property and the right of use.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">However, it is best to understand the options for dividing the property and determining the right of use.
