Huh? Is there anything in our contract that say this? I've always felt our maintenance goes to pay for things for *our* benefit. I sure didn't expect to pay dues to turn over a pristine resort to Disney. (Though maybe that clause in the contract and I missed it.)
Specifically? No. I don't think so.
But in the way the dues and budget are set up? Has to be.
Unless you assume that, as you approach the 2042 date, your dues will go DOWN because there will not be a budget line item for provisional/planned replacement of common elements.
I mean, you're not paying to have a full "refresh" done on the resort in 2042 as the last DVC guest walks out the door...but you ARE paying to keep the resort up to standards so that the last DVC guest (assuming there was going to be a 2042 expiration) would have a facility up to usable standards as they ARE walking out the door.
For example: If projected roof replacement is slated for 2039, you'll have paid for it with your dues...but will only really get 3 years worth of "use" out of that roof with your points. If a batch of couches is due to be replaced in 2041...they will be. That kind of stuff.
