§1124.109. Privileges
A. Subsequent to the filing for registry of the condominium declaration, and at all times during which the condominium property remains subject to this Part, no privileges of any nature shall arise or be created against the entire condominium property or the common elements as a whole. During this period a privilege may arise or be created upon or against the individual condominium parcels in the same manner and under the same conditions as a privilege may arise or be created upon or against any other separate parcel of immovable property subject to individual ownership.
B. Labor performed or materials furnished to a unit shall not be the basis for the filing of a claim of privilege pursuant to R.S. 9:4801 through 4820, unless the unit owner expressly requested or consented to the same. Labor performed or materials furnished to the association shall not be the basis for a privilege on the common elements as a whole; however, if the performance of labor or furnishing of materials is expressly authorized by the association, the labor or materials shall be deemed to be performed or furnished with the express consent of each unit owner and shall be the basis for the filing of a claim of privilege against each condominium parcel in the condominium. A single claim of privilege filed against the association shall be deemed to be a separate claim of privilege against each individual unit, but any such claim of privilege against an individual condominium parcel shall be limited in amount to the total charge for the labor performed and materials furnished multiplied by the percentage obligation of the owner of the condominium parcel for common expenses. Each individual owner may thereafter relieve his condominium parcel from any such privilege by payment of the proportionate amount of the claim of privilege attributable to his parcel. Upon such payment, it shall be the duty of the privilege creditor to release the privilege against such condominium parcel.
C. Service or delivery of notices and papers required under R.S. 9:4801 through 4820, on unit owners for or incident to the protection or enforcement of privileges arising from labor performed or materials furnished to the association, may be effected by service on or delivery to an officer of the association.
