§1131.19. Privileges

A. In the case of a sale of a timeshare interest in timeshare property in Louisiana when delivery of a public offering statement is required, a developer shall, before transferring a timeshare interest, record, or furnish to the purchaser, releases of all privileges affecting that timeshare interest that the purchaser does not expressly agree to take subject to or assume, or he shall provide a surety bond or substitute collateral.

B. If a privilege other than a mortgage becomes effective against more than one timeshare interest, any owner is entitled to a release of his timeshare interest from the privilege upon payment of his proportionate liability for the privilege in accordance with timeshare expense liability, unless he or his predecessor in interest agreed otherwise with the holder of the privilege. After payment, the managing entity may not assess or have a privilege against that timeshare interest for any portion of the timeshare expenses incurred in connection with that privilege.

C. If a privilege is to be enforced against all timeshare interests in a timeshare property, service of process upon the managing entity, if any, constitutes service thereof upon all the owners for the purposes of foreclosure or enforcement. The managing entity shall forward promptly, by certified or registered mail, a copy thereof to each owner at the last address known to the managing entity. The cost of forwarding must be advanced by the holder of the privilege and may be taxed as a cost of the enforcement proceeding. Such notice does not suffice for the entry of a deficiency or other personal judgment against any owner.

D. A privilege arising from non-payment of taxes may be enforced as provided in Subsection C, despite the fact that it may only attach to a single timeshare interest.
