or rebuild, then and in that event:
(1) the property shall be considered to be owned in common by the apartment or site owners;

in accordance with the existing priorities to the percentage of the undivided interest
of the apartment or site owner in the property as provided in this section; and

of the insurance on the property, if any, shall be considered as one fund and shall
