David is purchasing a home in a planned community in Fairfax County governed by a homeowners association. His agent explains that the seller must provide a disclosure packet under the Virginia Property Owners' Association Act. On Friday afternoon, David receives what appears to be the disclosure packet, but it is missing the association's current financial statements. Which of the following best describes the legal effect of this delivery?

Correct Answer

C) The 3-day rescission period does not begin because the packet is incomplete; it begins only upon receipt of the complete packet

Under the Virginia Property Owners' Association Act (Va. Code § 55.1-1809), the buyer's 3-calendar-day right of rescission begins only upon receipt of the COMPLETE disclosure packet. If the packet is missing required documents such as financial statements, it is legally incomplete, and the rescission clock does not start. The seller must deliver a complete packet before the rescission period is triggered.

Answer Options
A
The 3-day rescission period begins on Saturday because David received the packet on Friday
B
The 3-day rescission period begins when David signs an acknowledgment of receipt of the incomplete packet
C
The 3-day rescission period does not begin because the packet is incomplete; it begins only upon receipt of the complete packet
D
The 3-day rescission period is waived because David accepted delivery of the packet without objection
