Here's what I've been doing for apartment and other types of housing 
complexes: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=34.113478&lon=-117.57046&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF

In the relation, values I use for the housing_type key are:
- apartment - Rental with no ownership stake.
- condominium - Ownership, but you pay rental for common area, facilities, 
maintenance. Includes townhomes.
- house - You own the land, structure, everything
- mobile_home - Pre-fabricated homes. You pay rent for the land, common 
areas, facilities.
- public_housing - Apartments and occasionally houses that are owned/paid 
for in whole or part by government (for low/no-income residents)
