What constitutes a separate interest in a condominium?

A separate interest in a condominium represents an individual ownership stake in a specific unit within the condominium complex. This means that the owner has exclusive rights to their unit, allowing them to reside in it, modify it, and use it without interference from others, provided they adhere to the condominium's governing rules and regulations. This exclusivity is what defines a separate interest; it distinguishes the individual unit from shared properties such as common areas.

The other options involve shared rights or responsibilities among all unit owners. Common areas, for example, are owned jointly by all condominium owners and are meant for the collective use of residents, including hallways, pools, and recreational facilities. Building maintenance refers to the collective responsibility for upkeep shared among the condominium association and its members, rather than to any one unit owner. Landscaping services also fall into a communal category, as they contribute to the aesthetic and functional aspects of the property that are maintained for the benefit of all residents rather than individual ownership.
