2. The wikipedia states that the word is recorded in English since c.1714, from Modern Latin, apparently coined in Germany c.1700 from Latin com- "together" + dominium "right of ownership" (source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condominium_(international_law)
3. And,the wisegeek defines a condominium as a form of home ownership in which individual units of a larger complex are sold, not rented. It further explains that these units may be renovated apartments, townhouses or even commercial warehouses.
4. Interestingly, wisegeek also pointed that contrary to popular belief, the word 'condominium' does not apply to the type of unit itself, but the legal ownership arrangement. Any multi-unit structure can 'go condominium', meaning occupants must either vacate the premises or purchase their apartments outright. (source:http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-condominium.htm)
5. I hope this clears the issue raised by us whether townhouse should be mention at all in the blog. No offence to those staying in townhouses.
