Swiss Civil Code

¹Con­domin­i­um is a form of co-own­er­ship of im­mov­able prop­erty that gives the co-own­er the ex­clus­ive right to make sole use of spe­cif­ic parts of a build­ing there­on and design the in­teri­or of such parts.

²Each con­domin­i­um own­er is free to man­age, use and design the struc­ture of his or her own parts of the build­ing as he or she wishes but must not ob­struct any oth­er con­domin­i­um own­ers in the ex­er­cise of their own rights or in any way dam­age the com­mon parts of the build­ing, fit­tings and in­stall­a­tions or im­pair their func­tion­al ef­fect­ive­ness or ap­pear­ance.

³Each con­domin­i­um own­er is ob­liged to main­tain his or her parts of the build­ing in the man­ner re­quired to pre­serve the sound con­di­tion and good ap­pear­ance of the build­ing as a whole.
