Question 46

A property owners' association must deliver a resale certificate within 14 days of receiving a written request from the seller or seller's agent.

A resale certificate must be requested in writing for the property owners' association to fulfill its obligation within the specified 14-day period. This ensures proper documentation and verification processes are followed.

A) verbal request from the seller or seller's agent

A verbal request does not meet the legal requirement for the delivery of a resale certificate. The law specifies that a written request is necessary to initiate the process, making this option incorrect.

B) written request from the seller or seller's agent

This option is correct as it aligns with the legal requirement for the property owners' association to provide a resale certificate within 14 days of receiving a written request. A written request is essential for documentation and processing.

C) verbal request from the buyer or the buyer's agent

Similar to Option A, a verbal request is insufficient for triggering the 14-day timeline for the resale certificate. The requirement specifically mentions a written request, making this option incorrect.

D) written request from the buyer or the buyer's agent

While a written request is necessary, it must come from the seller or seller's agent, not the buyer or buyer's agent. Therefore, this option does not meet the criteria established by the law, rendering it incorrect.

Conclusion

The correct answer, a written request from the seller or seller's agent, is essential for the timely delivery of a resale certificate as mandated by law. Options A, C, and D fail to meet the requirement of a written request, while Option B is the only choice that correctly identifies the necessary action to initiate the process.
