Common elevator breakdowns in condominiums and how to address repair costs

Elevator breakdowns are a common source of conflict in condominiums, often leading to residents being trapped or the mechanism being out of service for days. These breakdowns incur additional repair costs for the condominium, typically divided among residents based on their property share. A condominium can vote to change this cost-sharing to an equitable division, requiring a two-thirds majority approval and formal documentation in meeting minutes.
