Section 18. General. Except as otherwise provided herein, the maintenance and repair of each Lot, including but not limited to landscaping, the interior and exterior of the residence, improvements constructed thereon, and any fence on the boundary line of a Lot shall be the responsibility of the Owner( s) thereof.
Section 19. Owner's Negligence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article IV, in the event that the need for maintenance or repair of the Association Property is caused by the willful or negligent act or omission of any Owner, or by the willful or negligent act or omission of any member of such Owner's family or by a guest or invitee of such Owner, the cost of such repair or maintenance shall be the personal obligation of such Owner, and any costs, expenses and fees incurred by the Association for such maintenance, repair or reconstruction shall be added to and become part of the assessment to which such Owner's Lot is subject and shall become a lien against such Owner's Lot as provided in Article III of this Declaration. A determination of the negligence or willful act or omission of any Owner or any member of an Owner's family or a guest or invitee of any Owner, and the amount of the Owner's liability therefore, shall be determined by the Association at the hearing after notice of the Owner, proved at any such determination which assigns liability to any Owner pursuant to the terms of this Section may be appealed by said Owner to a court of law.
