Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 100 § 100.103 — Effect

Effect of submission of leasehold condominium to unit ownership. (1) After an amendment submitting the fee title interest underlying a leasehold condominium has been recorded as provided in ORS 100.102: (a) The leasehold or leaseholds affecting the fee title interest of the land underlying the condominium property must be converted to individual leaseholds of the units; (b) The former owner of the underlying fee title interest of the condominium property shall become the holder of the fee title interest to all individual units and the lessor of the individual units. The individual unit owners of the leasehold condominium units shall become lessees of the fee title condominium units; (c) Unless otherwise provided by the lease or agreed by the lessor and lessee of the fee title condominium units, the obligations to pay rent under the former lease must be allocated among all former leasehold units on the basis of the percentage ownership in the common elements of the condominium allocated to each unit; (d) Liens against leasehold condominium units become liens on the lessee’s interest in the leased unit and have the same priority and rights against the leasehold of the individual unit in the fee title condominium formerly held against the leasehold condominium unit; (e) The holder of the fee title to the unit in the fee condominium shall have the same priority and rights in the individual leasehold of the fee title condominium unit as was held under the leases prior to submission of the fee title interest; and (f) The fee title interest is not subject to the liens suffered or incurred by the unit lessee, except for property taxes and condominium association assessment liens. (2) The assessor shall assign all value of the fee simple interest to the fee title condominium units and allocate any additional value in accordance with the allocation of interest of each unit in the common elements. (3) All easements, covenants, conditions and restrictions or other interests encumbering the fee title and the leasehold at the time of submission of the fee title to the provisions of this chapter continue and remain in full force, unaffected by the submission. (4)(a) Options to purchase that were granted to unit owners or to the association prior to submission of the fee title interest to the provisions of this chapter pursuant to ORS 100.102 continue according to their terms, except that purchaser options must be segregated so that each option pertains to an individual unit only. (b) Unless the purchase options provide otherwise, the purchase price must be allocated among the individual units on the basis of the percentage ownership interest in the common elements pertaining to individual units. (c) Except for segregating the former leasehold into individual leaseholds in each of the units and reallocating lease payments among the units as provided in this section, the terms and provisions of the former lease are unaffected by submission of the fee title to the provisions of this chapter. (d) Except for segregating the purchase options and allocating the purchase price, if not otherwise allocated by the terms of the purchase option, the terms and provisions of the purchase option are unaffected by submission of the fee title to the provisions of this chapter.
