Maria is buying a condominium unit in a building created in 1998 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her agent tells her that the seller must provide certain resale disclosures specific to common interest communities. Which Minnesota statute governs the resale disclosure requirements for this condominium?

Correct Answer

B) Minnesota Common Interest Ownership Act (MCIOA), Minn. Stat. Ch. 515B, because the building was created after June 1, 1994

The Minnesota Common Interest Ownership Act (MCIOA), Minn. Stat. Ch. 515B, governs condominiums, townhomes, and planned communities created after June 1, 1994. Since this condominium was created in 1998, MCIOA applies and governs the resale disclosure requirements, including the seller's obligation to provide a resale disclosure certificate and the buyer's right of rescission after receiving it.

Answer Options
A
Minnesota Condominium Act, Minn. Stat. Ch. 515, because the building was constructed before 2000
B
Minnesota Common Interest Ownership Act (MCIOA), Minn. Stat. Ch. 515B, because the building was created after June 1, 1994
C
Minnesota Residential Real Property Disclosure Act, Minn. Stat. § 513.52–513.60, which applies to all residential property sales including condominiums
D
Federal Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act (ILSFDA), because the development contains more than 25 units
