2025O5976 Each suite or garage owner or, if more than one, owners, jointly and severally, shall be personally liable for the payment of assessments under the preceding Sections. Upon the expiration of thirty (30) days from the due date of an assessment, if said assessment remains unpaid, the Association may bring suite against the owner or owners of said suite or garage for recovery of the same. If the assessment is a monthly installment of an annual assessment, the default in payment of one installment when due, may, at the option of the Association, cause the remainder of the installments due for that annual period to become immediately due and payable. The defaulting suite or garage owner shall be liable for the unpaid assessment or assessments, interest thereon from the. due date to the date paid at the highest legal rate, and attorney fees and expenses incurred in the collection of the same. No proceeding to collect defaulted assessments pursuant to this Section shall constitute a waiver of the lien of the Association against said defaulting owner's suite or garage nor a waiver of the right of the Association to foreclose thereon. The grantee of a suite or garage shall be jointly and severally liable with the grantor for all unpaid assessments against the latter up to the time of the grantor conveyance, without prejudice to the grantee's right to recover from the grantor the amount paid by the grantee therefor; provided, however, that upon payment of a reasonable fee and upon written request, any such prospective grantee shall be entitled to a statement from the Board of Administrators, or the Manager, in the form set forth in Section 9 of Article V, which shall be conclusive upon the Association in favor of all persons relying thereon in good faith. Unless such request for a statement of indebtedness shall be complied with within thirty (30) days of such request, then such grantee shall not be liable for, nor shall the condominium suite or garage conveyed be subject to a lien for any unpaid assessments accruing prior to the date of such request.

Assessments delinquent more than thirty (30) days after the due date shall bear interest at the highest legal rate from the due date unpaid paid. The delinquency of one installment of an annual assessment shall cause all remaining installments, at the option of the Association, to immediately become due and payable. The Board of Administrators shall have the right and duty to attempt to recover such common charges, together with interest thereon, and the expenses of the proceeding, including attorney fees, in an action to recover the same brought against such suite or garage owner, or by foreclosure of the lien on such suite or garage granted by Section 76- 817 of the Condominium Act. In any action brought by the Board of Administrators to foreclose a lien on a suite or garage because of unpaid assessments, the suite or garage owner shall be required to pay a reasonable rental for the use of his/her suite or garage, and the plaintiff in such foreclosure action shall be entitled to the appointment of a
