Bill Summary

Relative to construction defect claims by condominium owners

AI Summary

This bill amends Massachusetts law to expand the statute of limitations for construction defect claims by condominium owners. Specifically, it extends the statute of limitations for such claims from 3 years to 6 years after the "declarant control termination date," which is when the condominium association is no longer controlled by the developer. This change applies to all condominium master deeds, declarations of trust, and bylaws, regardless of when they were recorded.
