Condominium ownership implies actual ownership of the apartment while the common areas of the building are owned jointly. Compared with the owners of more traditional
co-ops,
condo owners have more leeway in terms making modifications to their apartments as well as in terms of renting them out.
Consequently, apartments in condominium buildings can often be rented - typically, directly from their individual owners or through a brokerage.
An increasingly common scenario for new buildings (those built in the last few years) is renting directly from the
developer.
Often, particularly in large new condo buildings, there will be an office that will handle, among other things, rental applications for the units in the building offered for rent by individual owners and/or by the developer.
