A developer in Edison, New Jersey, sells timeshare interests in a resort property. A buyer, Sandra, signs a purchase contract and receives the Public Offering Statement on Tuesday. She decides she does not want the timeshare and mails a rescission notice the following Tuesday (seven days later). Is Sandra's rescission timely under New Jersey law?

Correct Answer

B) Yes, because PREDFDA grants buyers seven calendar days to rescind after receiving the Public Offering Statement, and mailing on day seven is timely.

Under PREDFDA (N.J.S.A. 45:22A-21 et seq.), which covers timeshares as a form of planned real estate development, buyers have a seven-day right of rescission after receiving the Public Offering Statement. Sandra received the POS on Tuesday and mailed her rescission notice the following Tuesday — exactly seven days later. The rescission is timely because day seven (Tuesday) is within the seven-day window. PREDFDA counts calendar days, and the notice mailed on day seven satisfies the statute.

Answer Options
A
No, because the seven-day period expired at midnight on Monday, the day before she mailed the notice.
B
Yes, because PREDFDA grants buyers seven calendar days to rescind after receiving the Public Offering Statement, and mailing on day seven is timely.
C
No, because timeshare rescission rights in New Jersey are governed by a three-day federal cooling-off rule, not PREDFDA.
D
Yes, but only if the rescission notice is sent by certified mail with return receipt requested.
