Multi-family
residential (also known as Multi-dwelling unit or MDU) is a categorization of
housing where many separate housing units for residential (i.e. non-commercial)
occupants are enclosed within one building or numerous buildings within one
complex. A general form is an apartment building. Sometimes units in a
multi-family residential building are condominiums, where usually the units are
possessed independently instead of leased from a single apartment building
possessor. Many deliberate groups of people include multi-family residences,
such as in cohousing projects.
