Question

Lanikila bought a home in a PD-H community. How does ownership of the common amenities differ from ownership of these amenities in a condominium project?

a) Lanikila co-owns the amenities with the other unit owners; condo owners have use permission only.
b) Lanikila has use of, but not ownership interest in, the amenities.
c) Shared amenities in a PD-H are owned by the property owners.
d) The businesses located in the PUD share ownership of the amenities.

Answer 1

Lanikila co-owns the common amenities in a PD-H community, contrasting with a condominium project where the amenities are owned by the association and the condo owners only have usage rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a PD-H community (Planned Development-Housing), Lanikila co-owns the common amenities with the other homeowners in the community. This differs from a condominium project where the amenities are typically owned by the condominium association and the condo owners have rights to use these amenities, but do not have direct ownership interest in them.

The ownership structure in a PD-H is more akin to a cooperative where the shared amenities, such as pools, fitness centers, and green spaces, are collectively owned by all the homeowners within the PD-H.
