                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

UPKEEP OF COOPERATIVE (§ 55.1-2138)

A. Except to the extent otherwise provided by the declaration, by subsection B,
or by subsection G of &#xA7; 55.1-2145, the association is responsible for
maintenance, repair, and replacement of the common elements, and each
proprietary lessee is responsible for maintenance, repair, and replacement of
his unit. Each proprietary lessee shall afford to the association and the other
proprietary lessees, and to their agents or employees, access through his unit
reasonably necessary for those purposes. If damage is inflicted on the common
elements or on any unit through which access is taken, the proprietary lessee
responsible for the damage, or the association if it is responsible, is liable
for the prompt repair and all costs associated with such repair.

B. In addition to the liability that a declarant as a proprietary lessee has
under this chapter, the declarant alone is liable for all expenses in connection
with real estate subject to development rights. No other proprietary lessee and
no other portion of the cooperative is subject to a claim for payment of those
expenses. Unless the declaration provides otherwise, any income or proceeds from
real estate subject to development rights inures to the declarant.
