Er, wait a minute. How can it have "adjoining units" if it
doesn't share any walls with said units? Where's the adjoining?
WAIM?
Sometimes there's a garage in between, sometimes a walled
courtyard/garden, sometimes just a fence, or some combination of
these. There usually isn't a shared wall between the indoors part
of one unit and the next.
Gotcha. But only in the first case (garage) can I see how the units
would be "adjoining".
So, in Areffian, New York and Pennsylvania aren't adjoining states
because nobody's built a party wall along the border?
The state are adjoining. And the *plots* (or *lots*) on which those
units sit are adjoining. But if they don't share some sort of wall or
the like, the *units* aren't adjoining.
But the unit is what you get title to when you buy one, which includes
indoor and outdoor space. Your title adjoins the next one.

As I understand it, I own it only as far as the walls; I have a share in
everything else. Apparently, we only look after our sandpatches - I mean
back garden - because we have agreed to do so, since they are really
part of the 'common' area.
