RS 1131.21 - Assessment for timeshare interest expenses A. Until timeshare expense assessments are made against the timeshare interests, the developer shall pay all timeshare expenses. After any timeshare expense assessment has been made against the owners, timeshare expense assessments must be made at least annually, based on a budget adopted at least annually by the managing entity. B.(1) Except for assessments under Subsections C, D, and E of this Section, all timeshare expenses must be assessed against all the timeshare interests in accordance with the allocation set forth in the timeshare documents. The allocation of total common expenses set forth in the timeshare documents may vary on any reasonable basis, including but not limited to timeshare unit size, timeshare unit type, timeshare unit location, specific identification, or a combination of these factors, if the percentage interest in the common elements attributable to each timeshare interest equals the share of the total common expenses allocable to that interest. The share of a timeshare interest in the common expenses allocable to the timeshare interest may vary on any reasonable basis if the timeshare interest's share of its parcel's common expense allocation is equal to that timeshare interest's share of the percentage interest in common elements attributable to such interest. (2) No owner of a timeshare interest may be excused from the payment of its proportional share of the common expenses, except that the developer may be excused from the payment of such common expenses which would have been assessed against those units during a stated period of time during which the developer has guaranteed in writing to each timeshare interest owner or to the association that the expenses for the common elements would not increase over a stated dollar amount. If such a guarantee is given, the developer is obligated to pay any amount of common expenses incurred during the guarantee period, which was not produced by the assessments at the guarantee level from other timeshare interest owners. Any past due assessment or installment thereof bears interest at the rate established by the managing entity or timeshare documents not to exceed twelve percent per annum. C. Any timeshare expense benefiting fewer than all of the owners must be assessed exclusively against the owners benefited. D. Repealed by Acts 2003, No. 978, §3. E. If any timeshare interest expense is caused by the misconduct of any owner, the timeshare association may assess that expense exclusively against that owner's timeshare interest. F. The provisions of this Section shall apply only to timeshare interests in timeshare property located in Louisiana. G. No owner of a timeshare interest may be excused from the payment of his share of the common expenses unless all owners are likewise excused. Past due assessments may bear interest at the legal rate or some lesser rate established by the managing entity. Added by Acts 1983, No. 552, §1; Acts 1984, No. 943, §1, eff.
