File this under things I never thought about.
In Connecticut there are condo complexes that are comprised entirely of two units. The street term for these condos are conplexs. One part condo and one part duplex.
These units would appear to the naked eye to be a duplex or a two family home.
Why do developers make these units into condos?
The short answer is that it would be impossible from a title perspective to have seperate owners of a two family home. Which explains why two family homes that aren’t condos always have an owner and a tenant.
In order for a developer to sell two units instead of one – the developer can choose to make the units condos. Thus, two sales instead of one.
Needless to say, issues in a two person condo association can be conplex.
