(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

(a) The conveyance evidences an intent not to transfer any special declarant rights;

(b) An instrument executed by the transferor and the transferee evidences an intent not to transfer any special declarant rights and is recorded in the office of the recording officer of every county in which the property is located; or

(2) A transferee under subsection (1) of this section shall acquire less than all special declarant rights if:

(a) The conveyance from the transferor or an instrument executed by the transferor and the transferee evidences an intent to transfer less than all special declarant rights and states the specific right being transferred, and such instrument is recorded in the office of the recording officer of every county in which the property is located; or

(b) The transferee executes an instrument disclaiming specific special declarant rights and the instrument is recorded in the office of the recording officer of every county in which the property is located.

(3) When a transferee acquires all of the declarant’s interest in a condominium in which the declarant has reserved the right to add additional stages under ORS 100.125, the transferee shall not acquire the right to annex additional stages to the condominium unless the transferee simultaneously acquires from the declarant property adjacent to the condominium which is entitled to be annexed to the condominium, or unless the conveyance evidences an intent to transfer such right to the transferee.

(4) A declarant or a successor declarant may transfer all or less than all of the transferor’s special declarant rights to a transferee, whether or not any interest in real property is conveyed, by an instrument executed by the declarant or successor declarant and the transferee evidencing an intent to transfer all or specific special declarant rights, which instrument shall be recorded in the office of the recording officer of every county in which the property is located. If the transfer is not subject to subsection (1) of this section, it shall also bear the written consent of any holder of a blanket encumbrance on the condominium. [Formerly 94.103]
