1. A units owner is not liable, solely by reason of being a units owner, for an injury or damage arising out of the condition or use of the common elements. Neither the association nor any units owner except the declarant is liable for that declarants torts in connection with any part of the common-interest community which that declarant has the responsibility to maintain. 2. An action alleging a wrong done by the association, including, without limitation, an action arising out of the condition or use of the common elements, may be maintained only against the association and not against any units owner. If the wrong occurred during any period of declarants control and the association gives the declarant reasonable notice of and an opportunity to defend against the action, the declarant who then controlled the association is liable to the association or to any units owner for all tort losses not covered by insurance suffered by the association or that units owner, and all costs that the association would not have incurred but for a breach of contract or other wrongful act or omission. Whenever the declarant is liable to the association under this section, the declarant is also liable for all expenses of litigation, including reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by the association. 3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4 of NRS 116.4116 with respect to warranty claims, any statute of limitation affecting the associations right of action against a declarant under this section is tolled until the period of declarants control terminates. A units owner is not precluded from maintaining an action contemplated by this section because he or she is a units owner or a member or officer of the association. Liens resulting from judgments against the association are governed by NRS 116.3117 .
