GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Swedish term or phrase:andelshus

Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs / Swedish tax laws
Swedish term or phrase: andelshus
Swedish tax laws. No real context, just in a long list of 'bodies' with specific tax liabilities.
Is this 'cooperative housing' or something similar? House if difficult in English because it means a single-family home in English, hence my suggestion of 'housing'.
Advice/opinions appreciated (this is the last one!)
TIA,
Helen

condominium
Explanation:
This explanation is taken from www.yourdictionary.com:
"a. A building or complex in which units of property, such as apartments, are owned by individuals and common parts of the property, such as the grounds and building structure, are owned jointly by the unit owners.
b. A unit in such a complex."

I think "condominium" is the word you are searching! :)

OK, US English required as well - looks as though this is another word for the concept I've been using so far to translate another term. Thanks.

Explanation:
Med andelshus avses en fastighet som ägs av tre eller flera, antingen direkt eller genom ett svenskt handelsbolag, och som inrymmer eller är avsedd att inrymma bostad i skilda lägenheter åt minst tre delägare (2 kap. 16 § IL).

När man talar om andelshus i inkomstskatterättsliga sammanhang
avses inte småhus. För varje delägare i ett småhus, som i dagligt
tal i vissa fall kan kallas andelshus, ska en prövning göras om
hans innehav är att anse som privatbostadsfastighet eller näringsfastighet enligt vanliga regler.
Är fastigheten inte ett småhus, är

co-op


Explanation:
or "co-operative apartment" if you want to be more clear. If you are referring to the entire building, "co-operative apartmenthouse."

Regarding the points, I'd suggest giving them to hirselina, as that really is a more explainatory answer, and a lot of work went into that.

disagree  Charlesp: no, this would not be correct. In a condominium the owner solely owns the airspace that he occupies and common areas jointly. I don't belive such a legal concept exists in Sweden or Swedish law. Aandelshus = owner has a partial interest in ALL of the p
