Correct Answer

D) Darnell has 9 business days from Tuesday to provide written notice of rescission

Under the Michigan Condominium Act (MCL 559.183), a buyer purchasing a condominium unit from a developer has 9 business days after receiving the complete Condominium Disclosure Package to rescind the purchase agreement. The rescission must be communicated in writing. Business days exclude weekends and legal holidays, so the 9-business-day period starting Tuesday would extend into the following week.

Answer Options
A
Darnell has until Thursday of the same week to rescind, because the rescission period is 72 hours
B
Darnell has 9 calendar days from Tuesday to rescind the purchase agreement
C
Darnell has no rescission right because he is purchasing from a developer, not a private seller
D
Darnell has 9 business days from Tuesday to provide written notice of rescission

Contingencies are conditions written into a real estate contract that must be met before the transaction can close. If a contingency is not satisfied, the buyer can typically cancel the contract without penalty.

Contract termination occurs when a contract is ended or discharged, releasing both parties from their obligations. A contract can be terminated through performance, mutual agreement, operation of law, or breach.

A counteroffer is a response to an original offer that changes one or more terms of the offer, effectively rejecting the original offer and creating a new offer. The party who makes the counteroffer becomes the new offeror.
