§35-8A-409. Resales of units.  


Latest version.
  • (a) Except in the case of a sale where delivery of an offering statement is required, or unless exempt under section 35-8A-401(b), a unit owner upon written request by the purchaser shall furnish to a purchaser before conveyance, a copy of the declaration, other than the plats and plans, the bylaws, the rules or regulations of the association, and a certificate containing:

    (1) A statement setting forth the amount of the monthly common expense assessment and any unpaid common expense or special assessment currently due and payable from the selling unit owner;

    (2) A statement of any other fees payable by unit owners;

    (3) The most recent regularly prepared balance sheet and income and expense statement, if any, of the association;

    (4) The current operating budget of the association;

    (5) A statement of any unsatisfied judgments against the association and any pending suit in which the association is a party;

    (6) A statement describing any insurance coverage provided for the benefit of unit owners;

    (7) A statement of the remaining term of any lease hold estate affecting the condominium and the provisions governing any extension or renewal thereof;

    (8) A statement of any restrictions in the declaration affecting the amount that may be received by a unit owner upon sale, condemnation, casualty loss to the unit or condominium or on termination of the condominium.

    (b) The association, within 10 days after a request by a unit owner, shall furnish a certificate containing the information necessary to enable the unit owner to comply with this section. A unit owner providing a certificate pursuant to subsection (a) is not liable to the purchaser for any erroneous information provided by the association and included in the certificate.

    (c) A purchaser is not liable for any unpaid assessment or fee greater than the amount set forth in the certificate prepared by the association. A unit owner is not liable to a purchaser for the failure or delay of the association to provide the certificate in a timely manner, but the purchase contract is voidable by the purchaser until the certificate has been provided and for five days thereafter or until conveyance, whichever first occurs.
