(1) APPOINTMENT OF RESIDENT AGENT;
CHANGE IN NAME OR ADDRESS. When any property is submitted
to a condominium declaration, the declarant shall appoint a resident agent for the condominium who shall be a citizen and actual
resident of the state or corporation duly registered or qualified to
do business in the state. The declarant shall file the name and address of the resident agent with the department of financial institutions. The name or address of the resident agent may be
changed by the association or other proper authority of the condominium in the same manner and to the same extent that names
and addresses of registered agents may be changed by corporations. If the association is incorporated, the registered agent for
the association shall be the registered agent for the condominium.
(2) INDEX OF NAMES AND ADDRESS OF RESIDENT AGENTS.
The department of financial institutions shall keep an index of
the names and addresses of resident agents and shall make the information available to the public on request.
(3) SUITS BROUGHT BY SERVICE ON RESIDENT AGENT. Suit
may be brought by service on the resident agent in actions against
an association, or which arise through any cause relating to the
common elements.
(4) EXEMPTION OF UNIT OWNERS FROM LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN CLAIMS. Except in proportion to his or her percentage interest in the common elements, no unit owner personally is liable for

damages as a result of injuries arising in connection with the
common elements solely by virtue of his or her ownership of a
percentage interest in the common elements, or for liabilities incurred by the association.
