Unit
The term “unit” can be used generically to refer to each person’s house in an HOA, but it has a specific meaning with regard to condos. In Washington, a condominium unit is the physical portion of the condominium designated for separate ownership. While declarations may differ as to the physical definition of a unit (a unit can be defined as “everything from the sheetrock in” to an “airspace” unit that includes the entire home and yard and areas above and below the physical home), a unit owner owns is generally responsible for maintenance and repair of his or her own unit.
