Maintenance (Co-op)
Maintenance is the periodic payment a co-op shareholder makes to fund building operations, typically including building expenses and allocation of underlying mortgage payments and taxes, per the co-op's budgeting and allocation methodology. It is economically analogous to a combination of rent + common charges + tax allocation, but is governed by corporate and proprietary lease documents.
