declaration and master deed and no forfeiture or sale of the improve-

138.  ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, AND RIGHTS TO SEPARATE
RELEASE.

(a)   Upon the declaration of any property into a horizontal prop-
erty regime the declaror shall appoint a resident agent for the regime
who shall be a resident of the State of Maryland and of the county
or City of Baltimore in which the property so declared into the
regime is actually situated and shall file the name of such resident
agent with the Department of Assessments and Taxation in the same
manner as now provided for corporations. The Department shall
keep an index of such resident agents. The resident agent may from
time to time be changed by the proper authority of the regime in the
same manner and to the same extent as resident agents are now
replaced for corporations.

(b)  Actions may be brought by service on the resident agent in
actions against any two or more unit owners which arise through
their ownership of such units or arise through any cause relating to
the common elements or of more than one unit.

(c)  Actions may be brought on behalf of two or more unit owners
as their respective interests may appear by the manager or board of
directors of the regime with respect to any cause of action relating
to the common elements or more than one unit.

(d)  In the event of entry of a final judgment as a lien against two
or more unit owners the unit owners of the separate units may remove
their unit and their percentage interest in the common elements from
the lien thereof by payment of the fractional proportional amounts
attributable to each of the units affected, such individual payment
shall be computed by reference to the percentage of interest estab-
lished for each unit in the master deed or declaration. Upon such
partial payment, partial discharge or release, or other satisfaction,
the unit and its percentage interest in the common elements shall
thereafter be free and clear of the lien of such judgment.

(e)  Any partial payment, satisfaction, or discharge, shall not
prevent a judgment creditor from proceeding to enforce his rights
against any OTHER unit and its percentage interest in the common
elements not so paid, satisfied or discharged.
