Minakimo,
You say ‘intending to rent’ so it appears you haven’t entered into a lease agreement yet.
I hope there is a lawyer who specialises in this are who can give you a more definitive answer but my view is for a standard lease, no you don’t have a right to the common property. For the duration of a standard lease you assign all property rights to the tenants.
Having said that, I couldn’t see a barrier to drafting a lease with a clause allowing you access for your purpose but I have no idea what form that clause or condition would take.
