Thanks Myriam, and everyone, much appreciated
Myriam Seers Aug 26, 2022:
A few more sources in support of my translation Given the disagreement to my proposed translation, I offer more sources (in addition to the three I provided with my proposed translation), in support of "common elements" being the term used, at least in the United States and Canada. I can't speak to the UK or elsewhere (but it's not "Spanglish" by any stretch).

common and private elements

Condominiums are multi-residential developments (usually urban, multi-storey residential towers) that combine both private elements that are held by individual owners (the condominium units themselves) and ‘common elements’ that are the shared property of all owners in the development.

In the context of a parking lot, the private elements would be the parking spots, which are owned by individual owners, and the common elements would be the structure itself, the entrance and exit, the security system, the lights, etc.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Adrian MM. : > elements is Spanglish for common & exclusive etc. parts - literally as property > leasehold + commonhold/condo speak. // As a UK ex-authorised conveyancer, I worked 40 yrs in landlord & tenant + drafted leases. Common parts is Anglo-Irish bog-standard.

Common and private elements is 100% the language used for condos, not Spanglish. See my links. I have lived in several, in North America!

Optaría por private or individual
La cuestión que se me plantea es si son elementos, que es muy genérico e incluye cosas, objetos, o si se trata sólo de zonas o áreas en sentido estricto
Note from asker:
thanks so much!
