Land
and interests therein subject to lien; leaseholds.
(1) The site together with the
land that may be required for the convenient use and occupation of the
improvement constructed on the site, to be determined by the court at the time
of the foreclosure of the lien, shall also be subject to the liens created
under ORS 87.010 (1), (4) and (5) if, at the time of the commencement of the
improvement, the person who caused the improvement to be constructed was the
owner of that site and land. If the person owned less than a fee-simple estate
in the site and land, then only the interest of the person therein shall be
subject to the lien.
(2) If a lien
created under ORS 87.010 (1), (4) and (5) is claimed against a unit as defined
in ORS 100.005, the common elements appertaining to that unit are also subject
to the lien.
(3) When the
interest of the person who caused the improvement to be constructed is a
leasehold interest, and that person has forfeited the rights of the person
thereto, the purchaser of the improvement and leasehold term at any sale under
the provisions of ORS 87.001 to 87.060 and 87.075 to 87.093, is deemed to be
the assignee of the leasehold term, and may pay the lessor all arrears of rent
or other money and costs due under the lease. If the lessor regains possession
of the property, or obtains judgment for the possession thereof prior to the
commencement of construction of the improvement, the purchaser may remove the
improvement within 30 days after the purchaser purchases it, and the owner of
the land shall receive the rent due the owner, payable out of the proceeds of
the sale, according to the terms of the lease, down to the time of removal. [Amended
by 1975 c.466 §4; 2019 c.69 §36]
