A buyer purchases a newly constructed condominium unit from a developer in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The developer provides the complete Condominium Disclosure Package — including the master deed, bylaws, and budget — on Monday. The buyer signs the purchase agreement on the same day. The buyer later has second thoughts and wants to cancel. Under the Michigan Condominium Act, what is the buyer's right of rescission?

Correct Answer

D) The buyer has 9 business days from receiving the complete Condominium Disclosure Package to rescind the purchase agreement

Under the Michigan Condominium Act (MCL 559.183), a buyer of a condominium unit from a developer has 9 business days to rescind the purchase agreement after receiving the complete Condominium Disclosure Package (master deed, bylaws, budget, and other required documents). This right exists regardless of when the purchase agreement was signed. Even if the buyer signed on the same day the disclosure was received, the 9-business-day rescission period still applies and runs from the date of receipt of the complete package.

Answer Options
A
The buyer has 72 hours from receiving the Condominium Disclosure Package to rescind the purchase agreement
B
The buyer has no right to rescind because the purchase agreement was signed on the same day the disclosure was received
C
The buyer has 30 calendar days from closing to rescind the purchase agreement under federal condominium law
D
The buyer has 9 business days from receiving the complete Condominium Disclosure Package to rescind the purchase agreement
