Where there is no regulation, a model regulation applies (art. 8 of the law). It was set by Decree No. 2-17-354 of 23 October 2017 (Official Bulletin No. 6635 of 1 January 2018, in Arabic).
Its Article 5 contains the table allocating the private parts and their undivided shares: number of private and common parts, brief content, areas, share of the plot in m², undivided share, number of votes, use, remarks. The share is calculated as: area of the private part × n ÷ total area of the private parts, with n = 1,000 or 10,000.
Its Articles 52 and 53 repeat the two keys of the law: share for the conservation, upkeep and management of the common parts; usefulness for common equipment and collective services (caretaking, lift, intercom, security, central air conditioning, television reception, given as examples in Article 51).
- An existing regulation prevails: check it before recalculating.
- The areas must come from the co-ownership plans (technical file), not from an estimate.
- For a registered building, the regulation contains a table allocating the shares of each private part (art. 51).
