Units may be made subject to mortgages without restrictions, but sales and leases thereof shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 19:
19.1 Sales. Pursuant to Section 718.116(1)(a), Florida Statutes, a unit owner is jointly and severally liable with the previous owner for all unpaid assessments that came due up to the time of transfer of title. Each new Owner receiving a conveyance from any party except the Developer shall notify the Association and the Management Firm promptly after becoming a new Owner by delivering a copy of his deed to the Unit to the Association and the Management Firm and shall pay any amount owed to the Association within thirty (30) days pursuant to Section 718.116(1)© of the Florida Statutes.
19.2 Leases. No Unit Owner may lease or rent his Unit if delinquent in the payment of any Assessments. If all Assessments are paid up to date, a Unit Owner may rent or lease such Owner’s Unit without further approval. However, the Unit Owner renting or leasing such Owner’s Unit shall promptly notify the Association or Management Firm of each renter and the term of such rental or lease. The sub‐leasing or sub‐renting of a Unit Owner’s interest is not permitted. The Association shall have the right to require upon notice to all Unit Owners that a substantially uniform form of lease or sub‐lease be used by all Unit Owners (including the Developer) intending to rent or lease after said notice and to provide such form as a Common Expense. Entire Units only may be rented, provided the occupancy is only by the lessee and his family and guests. All rental agreements must be sent to the office at least seven (7) days in advance of arrival. Notwithstanding the above, leases may be for not less than thirty (30) days. A tenant of a Unit shall have all of the use rights in the Association Property and Common Elements otherwise readily available for use generally by Unit Owners and the Owner of the leased Unit shall not have such rights, except as a guest. This shall not, however, interfere with access rights of an Owner as landlord pursuant to applicable law. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Commercial Units shall not be subject to any restrictions or limitations on leases or rentals, provided that they may only be used for lawful purposes and consistent with the provisions of this Declaration.
19.3 Continuing Liability. The liability of the Unit Owner under this Declaration shall continue, notwithstanding the fact that he may have leased, rented or sub‐let said interest as provided herein. Every purchaser, tenant or lessee shall take subject to this Declaration, the Articles of Incorporation, the By‐Lows, the rules and regulations and the management agreement, as well as the provisions of the Act.
19.4 No Severance of Ownership. No part of the Common Elements may be sold, conveyed or otherwise disposed of, except as an appurtenance to the Unit in connection with a sale, conveyance or other disposition of the Unit to which such interest is appurtenant, and any sale, conveyance or other disposition of a Unit shall be deemed to include that Unit’s appurtenant interest in the Common Elements.
19.5 Gifts and Devises. etc. Any Unit Owner shall be free to convey or transfer such Owner’s Unit by gift, to devise such Owner’s Unit by will, or such Owner’s Unit may pass by intestacy, without restriction; provided, however, that each succeeding Unit Owner shall be bound by, and such Owner’s Unit subject to, the provisions of this Section.
