Practice question: Party Wall

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A confirmed party wall continues to support Ana's standing building. Ana wishes to avoid her share of ordinary repair costs simply by renouncing part-ownership. Does Article 662 allow that exemption while the wall supports her building?
  1. Yes, because renunciation always eliminates the charge.
  2. Yes, if she stops painting the wall.
  3. Yes, because all repair costs belong to her neighbor.
  4. Yes, because support is unrelated to the exception.
  5. No, because the supporting-building exception prevents this exemption.
