The ownership of side barriers, walls, floors, and ceilings between two contiguous subdivided real estate units shall be shared by their owners unless there is a structure separating the two units, and unless otherwise established. In using the part allocated to him, the owner may not harm the other owner or owners. 3. Common parts the benefit of which is limited to certain owners shall be deemed jointly owned by them, unless agreed otherwise. 4. An owner's share in the common indivisible parts shall be deemed a common part, and shall be attached to his subdivided real estate unit in all legal actions applicable to the unit, unless agreed otherwise. 5. An owner's share in the common parts shall be equal to the percentage of the area of his subdivided real estate unit to the total area of the subdivided real estate units as indicated in the subdivision document issued by the Authority or in the construction permit of the jointly-owned real estate in case of off-plan sale of subdivided real estate units. In determining such shares, the owners may agree to take into account the values and areas of the subdivided real estate units.
