Robert is a licensed Kentucky broker whose client is purchasing a condominium unit in Paducah. The seller delivers a resale certificate that is incomplete — it omits information about a pending special assessment of $8,000 per unit that the association approved last month. Robert's client has already signed the purchase contract. Under Kentucky law, which of the following best describes the consequence of the incomplete resale certificate?

Correct Answer

A) The incomplete resale certificate is treated as no resale certificate at all, meaning the buyer's 3-day rescission period has not yet begun to run

Under the Kentucky Condominium Act (KRS Chapter 381.9101 et seq.), the buyer's right to rescind is triggered by receipt of all required documents, including a complete and accurate resale certificate. An incomplete resale certificate that omits material required information — such as a pending special assessment — does not constitute proper delivery of the required documents. Therefore, the 3-day rescission clock has not begun to run, and the buyer retains the right to rescind until 3 days after receiving a complete, compliant resale certificate. Robert should advise his client that their rescission rights remain intact.

Answer Options
A
The incomplete resale certificate is treated as no resale certificate at all, meaning the buyer's 3-day rescission period has not yet begun to run
B
The buyer's 3-day rescission period began running from the date the incomplete certificate was delivered, regardless of what it omitted
C
The buyer must close on the property but may file a complaint with KREC against the seller's agent for the omission
D
The buyer may only rescind if the omitted special assessment exceeds 10% of the unit's purchase price
