Occupancy expenses shall be allocated only to the time-share estate owners. Nothing shall preclude the developer, during the developer control period, from collecting a periodic charge from the time-share estate owners for the payment of occupancy expenses.

Any such contract shall become voidable at the option of the association no later than 2 years after the developer sells the first time-share estate in the project; and(2) A regular accounting by the developer to the association of matters that significantly affect the interest of time-share estate owners.(c) Title to the common elements, if any, of the time-share estate project shall be transferred to the association, free of charge, no later than at such time as the developer either transfers to purchasers legal or equitable ownership of at least 75 percent of the time-share estates or completes all of the amenities and facilities comprising the time-share project, whichever shall occur later, but the developer may elect not to convey sooner than 2 years from the date the developer sells the first time-share estate. The developer control period shall terminate on the date of transfer of the common elements to the association.
