Liens against unit estates - Discharge
Official statutory text
(a) While the property remains subject to this act, no lien
shall arise or be effective against the property as a whole, but
only against each unit ownership estate and such lien shall attach
in the same manner and under the same conditions in every respect as
liens or encumbrances may arise or be created upon or against any
other separate parcel of real property subject to individual
ownership; provided, however, that no labor performed or materials
furnished with the consent or at the request of a unit owner or his
agent, his contractor, or subcontractor, shall constitute the basis
for a mechanic's or materialmen's lien against the unit ownership
estate or any other property of any other unit owner who has not
expressly consented to or requested the same, except that for the
purposes of this act such express consent shall be presumed to have
been given by the unit owner in case of emergency repairs thereto.
Labor performed or materials furnished for the common elements, if
duly authorized by the council of unit owners or its duly authorized
agent in accordance with this act, the declaration or bylaws shall
be deemed to be performed or furnished with the express consent of
each unit owner and shall constitute the basis for a mechanic's or
materialmen's lien as now provided by law against each of the unit
ownership estates in the property but shall be subject to the
provisions of subparagraph (b) hereunder.

(b) When a lien against two or more unit owners is asserted,
each unit owner may discharge his unit ownership estate from such
lien by payment to the lienor of the fractional or proportional
amount which is attributable to his unit ownership estate. Such
individual obligation shall be computed by reference to the
percentage of interest set forth in the declaration. Upon such
payment or satisfaction of the lien claim, the unit ownership estate
shall be free and clear of the lien claim but such release of the
unit owner shall not prevent the lienor from proceeding to establish
and enforce his rights against any other unit owner who has not so
discharged his obligation to the lienor.
