§ 46:8a-18.

The coowners of the apartments are bound to contribute pro rata toward (a) the expenses

of administration, of furnishing services and of maintenance and repair of the exterior

of each building and of the general common elements, and, in the proper case, of the

limited common elements, of the property; (b) the expenses relating to the maintenance

and servicing of recreational areas and related facilities and expenses involved in

furnishing services to coowners and in furnishing for coowners areas and facilities

for pursuing activities; and (c) any other expense lawfully agreed upon. The amount of each contribution shall be computed by the administrator, or the board

of administration, or other form of administration specified in the bylaws, and with

respect to the expenses referred to under (a) above may be based upon the assessed

valuation of the apartment, or such other basis of computation as in the opinion of

the administrator, or the board of administration, or other form of administration

specified in the bylaws, is more equitable, and with respect to the expenses referred

to in (b) above shall be based upon a per capita assessment against each occupant,

and with respect to the expenses referred to under (c) above, upon the basis agreed

upon. No coowner may exempt himself from contributing toward such expenses by waiver of

the use or enjoyment of the common elements or by abandonment of the apartment belonging

to him.
