(b) The association, within 10 days after a request by a unit owner and payment by such owner of any reasonable fee therefor established by the association, shall furnish a certificate containing the information necessary to enable the unit owner to comply with this section. A unit owner providing a certificate pursuant to subsection (a) is not liable to the purchaser for any erroneous information provided by the association and included in the certificate.

A unit owner is not liable to a purchaser for the failure or delay of the association to provide the certificate in a timely manner, but the purchase contract is voidable by the purchaser until the certificate has been provided and for 5 days thereafter or until conveyance, whichever first occurs. [1981, c. 699, (NEW).]
