Any past due common expense assessment or installment thereof bears interest at the rate established by the association pursuant to RCW 64.34.364.
(3) To the extent required by the declaration:
(a) Any common expense associated with the operation, maintenance, repair, or replacement of a limited common element shall be paid by the owner of or assessed against the units to which that limited common element is assigned, equally, or in any other proportion that the declaration provides;
(b) Any common expense or portion thereof benefiting fewer than all of the units must be assessed exclusively against the units benefited;

(5) To the extent that any common expense is caused by the misconduct of any unit owner, the association may assess that expense against the owner's unit.
(6) If common expense liabilities are reallocated, common expense assessments and any installment thereof not yet due shall be recalculated in accordance with the reallocated common expense liabilities.
