(service) charges for Explanation: This is a well-known French system. The lots are allocated "tantièmes" (fractions, portions, parts) normally based on their size and occasionally on other factors. In this case, a residential lot seems to have both an "own use stairwell and hallway" and access to a shared hallway" too. So the lot has to pay charges based on the "tantièmes" for these fractions too (cleaning, maintenance, equipment etc.) My reference explains this too and uses the phrase "service charges" but for me it's more than just the service as it pays for equipment etc. (air-conditioning, fire extinguishers, lifts) https://www.angloinfo.com/how-to/france/housing/buying-property/owning-an-apartment |
