Under the Illinois Residential Real Property Disclosure Act, when a seller provides a supplemental disclosure after the buyer has already received the original report, what termination right does the buyer receive?

Correct Answer

B) A conditional right to terminate that is narrower than an unconditional cancellation period and depends on statutory conditions tied to the nature of the defect and the seller's repair response.

Under the Illinois Residential Real Property Disclosure Act, a supplemental disclosure does not automatically grant the buyer a full, unrestricted cancellation period. Instead, the buyer's right to terminate is conditional — it depends on statutory factors including the nature of the newly disclosed defect and whether the seller agrees to repair or remedy it. The statute deliberately limits this right to prevent buyers from using any minor supplement as an unconditional exit.

Answer Options
A
An unconditional right to terminate the contract within five business days, regardless of the nature of the newly disclosed defect.
B
A conditional right to terminate that is narrower than an unconditional cancellation period and depends on statutory conditions tied to the nature of the defect and the seller's repair response.
C
No termination right, because a supplemental disclosure carries no legal consequence once the original disclosure period has passed.
D
A termination right only if the buyer's attorney exercises it during the attorney review period, which automatically reopens upon receipt of any supplement.
