Jonathan Perez How to figure out what the dishwasher needs
17 June 2017 | 5 replies

This is the language for time-sharing in the CCR:The term "time sharing" as used herein includes any agreement, plan, program, or arrangement under which the right to use, occupy or possess the Unit, or any portion thereof, rotates among various Persons on a periodically recurring basis for value exchanged, whether monetary or like-kind use privileges, according to a fixed or floating interval or period of time for thirty (30) consecutive calendar days or less.I think the verbage "periodically recurring" is key here.
