Contracts & AgreementsAgreement Of Purchase And SaleABMEDIUM

Under Alberta's Condominium Property Act, a purchaser's lawyer makes a written request to a condominium corporation for a certificate about a unit's contributions. What must the corporation provide, and by when?

Correct Answer

A) An estoppel certificate on the unit's contributions and arrears, within 10 days

Section 43.2 of the Condominium Property Act requires the corporation, on the written request of an owner, purchaser or mortgagee or their solicitor, to provide an estoppel certificate within 10 days after receiving the request. It certifies the contributions payable, how often they are payable, any arrears and any interest owing, and it is conclusive proof of those matters in favour of the person who requested it.

Answer Options
A
An estoppel certificate on the unit's contributions and arrears, within 10 days
B
A Condominium Information Certificate with the full budget and bylaws, within 30 days
C
A reserve fund study approved by RECA, before the sale is allowed to close
D
A unit factor allocation report, within 10 days of the purchase agreement

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Section 43.2(1) requires the corporation, within 10 days after receiving a written request from an owner, purchaser or mortgagee or their solicitor, to provide an estoppel certificate on the contributions, their frequency, any arrears and interest. Section 43.2(2) makes the certificate conclusive proof of those matters for the person who requested it.
