(a) General rule.--To
convert convertible real estate or add additional real estate pursuant to
an option reserved under section 3206(1) (relating to contents of declaration;
flexible condominiums), the declarant shall prepare, execute and record
an amendment to the declaration (section 3219) and comply with section 3210
(relating to plats and plans). The declarant is the unit owner of any units
thereby created. The amendment to the declaration must assign an identifying
number to each unit formed in the convertible or additional real estate
and reallocate common element interests, votes in the association and common
expense liabilities. The amendment must describe or delineate any limited
common elements formed out of the convertible or additional real estate,
showing or designating the unit to which each is allocated to the extent
required by section 3209 (relating to limited common elements).
(b) Creations within
additional real estate.--Convertible or withdrawable real estate may be
created within any additional real estate added to the condominium if the
amendment adding that real estate includes all matters required by section
3205 (relating to contents of declaration; all condominiums) or section
3206 (relating to contents of declaration; flexible condominiums), as the
case may be, and the plat includes all matters required by section 3210(b)
(relating to plats and plans). This provision does not extend the time limit
on conversion or contraction of a flexible condominium imposed by the declaration
pursuant to section 3206(2).
(c) Liability for
expenses and right to income.--Until conversion occurs or the period during
which conversion may occur expires, whichever occurs first, the declarant
alone is liable for real estate taxes assessed against convertible real
estate and all other expenses in connection with that real estate. No other
unit owner and no other portion of the condominium is subject to a claim
for payment of those taxes or expenses. Unless the declaration provides
otherwise, any income or proceeds from convertible real estate inures to
the declarant.
