Buyer protections on HOA fees and cancellation

If you are buying in an HOA or condo, you are not responsible for unpaid assessments or fees above the amounts shown in the association’s documents. The seller is not liable to you for delays by the association. Your purchase contract is voidable until you receive the documents. You can also cancel for 5 days after you get them, or until closing, whichever comes first.

Sellers must give HOA and condo documents

If you sell a home in an association or condo, you must give the buyer a written disclosure by a set date or within 10 days after signing. It must list dues and any unpaid or approved special assessments; bylaws, rules, the last two meeting minutes, and the declaration; reserves and capital funds (including amounts committed), current budgets and year‑to‑date financials, and any parts of reserves set aside for projects; insurance; lawsuits or judgments; any unit violations; transfer or other fees; collection remedies and policy; leasing limits; amenities; and contact info. The documents must include information from at least the 90 days before the agreement takes effect. After you ask, the association must provide the documents within 10 days and may charge a reasonable fee disclosed before final acceptance; if some items are not available, it must tell you. If a material fact changes before closing or possession, you must send a written update; if you follow these rules, you and your agent are not liable for claims based on the disclosed information.
