New Jersey § 45:15-16

§ 45:15-16.

Excluding any encumbrance placed against the purchaser's timeshare interest securing

the purchaser's payment of purchase money financing for the purchase, the developer

shall not be entitled to the release of any funds escrowed with respect to each timeshare

interest and any other property or rights to property appurtenant to the timeshare

interest, including any amenities represented to the purchaser as being part of the

timeshare plan, until the developer has provided satisfactory evidence to the commission

of one of the following: a. The timeshare interest together with any other property or rights to property appurtenant

to the timeshare interest, including any amenities represented to the purchaser as

being part of the timeshare plan, are free and clear of any of the claims of the developer,

any owner of the underlying fee, a mortgagee, judgment creditor, or other lienor or

any other person having an interest in or lien or encumbrance against the timeshare

interest or appurtenant property or property rights; b. The developer, any owner of the underlying fee, a mortgagee, judgment creditor,

or other lienor, or any other person having an interest in or lien or encumbrance

against the timeshare interest or appurtenant property or property rights, including

any amenities represented to the purchaser as being part of the timeshare plan, has

recorded a subordination and notice to creditors document in the jurisdiction in which

the timeshare interest is located. The subordination document shall expressly and effectively provide that the interest

holder's right, lien or encumbrance shall not adversely affect, and shall be subordinate

to, the rights of the owners of the timeshare interests in the timeshare plan regardless

of the date of purchase, from and after the effective date of the subordination document; c. The developer, any owner of the underlying fee, a mortgagee, judgment creditor,

or other lienor, or any other person having an interest in or lien or encumbrance

against the timeshare interest or appurtenant property or property rights, including

any amenities represented to the purchaser as being part of the timeshare plan, has

transferred the subject accommodations or amenities or all use rights therein to a

nonprofit organization or owners' association to be held for the use and benefit of

the purchasers of the timeshare plan, which entity shall act as a fiduciary to the

purchasers, provided that the developer has transferred control of that entity to

the purchasers or does not exercise its voting rights in that entity with respect

to the subject accommodations or amenities. Prior to the transfer, any lien or other encumbrance against the accommodation or

facility shall be made subject to a subordination and notice to creditors instrument

pursuant to subsection b. of this section; or d. Alternative arrangements have been made which are adequate to protect the rights

of the purchasers of the timeshare interests and are approved by the commission.
