CHOOSE THE ANSWER:

Wanda bought a condominium unit in Massachusetts last month. She calls you because, after she moved in, the Condominium Trustees contacted her and told her that the prior owner owed a balance on his condominium fees and that she is responsible to pay $1400.00 in arrearages. You check your file and see that you recorded a Certificate pursuant to MGL Ch. 183A, s. 6(d) which stated that there were no outstanding fees assessed against the unit through the end of last month. Which of the following is true?

a. Your firm will be responsible for this payment because it should have been paid at the closing.

b. The buyer is responsible for this payment because she purchased the unit subject to the condominium's lien.

c. The buyer should sue the seller for failing to make the payments.

d. The Condominium Association cannot legally seek payment of this balance since they provided a "clean" 6(d) Certificate which has been recorded at the Registry of Deeds
