Et les deux cent trente et un millièmes (231 /1000 èmes) des charges au hall et escalier.
Et les quatre cent quarante millièmes (440/1000 èmes) des charges afférentes au hall commun des lots 3 et 4.

Selected
(service) charges for
This is a well-known French system.
The lots are allocated "tantièmes" (fractions, portions, parts) normally based on their size and occasionally on other factors.
In this case, a residential lot seems to have both an "own use stairwell and hallway" and access to a shared hallway" too.
So the lot has to pay charges based on the "tantièmes" for these fractions too (cleaning, maintenance, equipment etc.)
My reference explains this too and uses the phrase "service charges" but for me it's more than just the service as it pays for equipment etc. (air-conditioning, fire extinguishers, lifts)

French term (edited):
charges (au hall er escalier)
apportioned overheads (building entrance/ reception area and stair-case /-way)
Service charges are one stage on and, routinely issued by the managing agents in the UK and Canada, what such an 'apportionment' is based on.
My experience with neighbo/u/rs upstairs is that, contrary to the songs/s, the Stairway is not to Heaven.
My experience with neighbo/u/rs upstairs is that, contrary to the songs/s, the Stairway is not to Heaven.
Example sentence:
Allocated and apportioned overheads $12,000

Thanks, Tony. You are one of the few commentators who have grasped the pro rata 'hall' point.

Ours aren't but include UK VAT + a managing agents' commission > provision de syndic, no way confined to 'le hall et escalier'.
