Statutory text

�� 1. Except in the case of a taking of all the units by eminent domain, in the case of foreclosure against an entire cooperative of a security interest that has priority over the declaration, or in the circumstances described in NRS 116.2124 , a common-interest community may be terminated only by agreement of units� owners to whom at least 80 percent of the votes in the association are allocated, including at least 80 percent of the votes allocated to units that are not owned by the declarant, and with any other approvals required by the declaration. The declaration may require a larger percentage of the total votes in the association for approval, but termination requires approval by at least 80 percent of the votes allocated to units not owned by the declarant. The declaration may specify a smaller percentage only if all of the units are restricted exclusively to nonresidential uses. �� 2. An agreement to terminate must be evidenced by the execution of an agreement to terminate, or ratifications thereof, in the same manner as a deed, by the requisite number of units� owners. The agreement must specify a date after which the agreement will be void unless it is recorded before that date. An agreement to terminate and all ratifications thereof must be recorded in every county in which a portion of the common-interest community is situated and is effective only upon recordation. �� 3. In the case of a condominium or planned community containing only units having horizontal boundaries described in the declaration, an agreement to terminate may provide that all of the common elements and units of the common-interest community must be sold following termination. If, pursuant to the agreement, any real estate in the common-interest community is to be sold following termination, the agreement must set forth the minimum terms of the sale. �� 4. In the case of a condominium or planned community containing any units not having horizontal boundaries described in the declaration, an agreement to terminate may provide for sale of the common elements, but it may not require that the units be sold following termination, unless the declaration as originally recorded provided otherwise or all the units� owners consent to the sale. �� 5. The association, on behalf of the units� owners, may contract for the sale of real estate in a common-interest community, but the contract is not binding on the units� owners until approved pursuant to subsections 1 and 2. If any real estate is to be sold following termination, title to that real estate, upon termination, vests in the association as trustee for the holders of all interests in the units. Thereafter, the association has all powers necessary and appropriate to effect the sale. Until the sale has been concluded and the proceeds thereof distributed, the association continues in existence with all powers it had before termination. Proceeds of the sale must be distributed to units� owners and lienholders as their interests may appear, in accordance with NRS 116.21183 and 116.21185 . Unless otherwise specified in the agreement to terminate, as long as the association holds title to the real estate, each unit�s owner and his or her successors in interest have an exclusive right to occupancy of the portion of the real estate that formerly constituted the unit. During the period of that occupancy, each unit�s owner and his or her successors in interest remain liable for all assessments and other obligations imposed on units� owners by this chapter or the declaration. �� 6. In a condominium or planned community, if the real estate constituting the common-interest community is not to be sold following termination, title to the common elements and, in a common-interest community containing only units having horizontal boundaries described in the declaration, title to all the real estate in the common-interest community, vests in the units� owners upon termination as tenants in common in proportion to their respective interests as provided in NRS 116.21185 , and liens on the units shift accordingly. While the tenancy in common exists, each unit�s owner and his or her successors in interest have an exclusive right to occupancy of the portion of the real estate that formerly constituted the unit. �� 7. Following termination of the common-interest community, the proceeds of a sale of real estate, together with the assets of the association, are held by the association as trustee for units� owners and holders of liens on the units as their interests may appear.
