During this period, liens or encumbrances may arise or be created only against each apartment and the percentage of undivided interest in the common areas and facilities appurtenant to the apartment in the same manner and under the same conditions as liens or encumbrances may arise or be created upon or against any other separate parcel of real property subject to individual ownership.
