Regulating Common Ownership in Built Properties (Lebanon, Legislative Decree No. 88, 1983) in English

Legislative Decree No. 88, issued on 16 September 1983, regulates common ownership in built properties in Lebanon — the legal regime for buildings divided into privately owned units sharing common parts. It is the text that determines how co-owners of Lebanese apartment buildings organise themselves, how the common parts are managed and charged for, and what powers the body of co-owners has over the building.

Demand for the English text comes mostly from diaspora owners and foreign purchasers of Lebanese property who need to understand their rights in a building, from property managers, and from lawyers handling co-ownership disputes or drafting building regulations for new developments.
