(a) The condominium property may be removed from the provisions of this chapter provided that all unit owners agree and all holders of record of liens affecting any of the units consent or agree, in either case by instruments duly recorded, that their liens be transferred to the undivided share of the unit owner in the property as hereinafter provided.
(b) A circuit court may grant the petition of any unit owner for a removal of the condominium property from the provisions of this chapter and a partition under the following circumstances:
(1) In the event of total destruction of all improvements of the condominium property and no agreement is reached to rebuild such improvements within a reasonable time, or such rebuilding has not been completed within a reasonable time.
(2) In the event of substantial destruction, deterioration, or obsolescence of the condominium property and no agreement is reached to repair, reconstruct, or rebuild such property within a reasonable time, or such repair, reconstruction, or rebuilding has not been completed within a reasonable time, and at least a majority of votes of unit owners shall be cast in favor of such removal.
(c) Upon removal of the condominium property from the provisions of this chapter, the property shall be deemed to be owned in common by those who were unit owners at the time of such removal. The undivided share in the property owned in common by each such owner with respect to the previous common elements shall be the undivided interest previously owned by such owner in the previous common elements. The undivided share in the property owned in common by each such owner with respect to the previous limited common elements shall be the undivided interest previously owned by each such owner in the previous limited common elements. The undivided share in the property owned in common by each such owner with respect to the previous private elements may be determined by an appraisal of all previous private elements and a computation of the relation that the value of each such owner’s previous private elements bears to the value of all previous private elements or such other reasonable method of determination as the declaration may provide. Under no circumstances shall anyone other than the owner of a unit at the time of removal be entitled to the use of any previous element of such previous unit subsequent to the removal of the condominium property from the provisions of this chapter and prior to the sale of such previous element.
(d) After termination of a condominium in any manner, the liens upon the previous units shall be upon the respective undivided interests of the owners as tenants in common.
(e) The termination of a condominium shall not bar the creation of another condominium affecting all or part of the same property.
