§1131.18. Resales of timeshares
A. Except in the case of a sale where delivery of a public offering statement is required or which is subject to the exemptions of R.S. 9:1131.11 (A) and (B)(2)-(5), a seller of a timeshare interest in timeshare property in Louisiana shall furnish to the purchaser before execution of any contract for the sale or, if there is no contract for sale, before the transfer of the timeshare interest, a copy of the timeshare documents, including any plats or plans, and a certificate containing:
(1) A statement disclosing the effect on the proposed transfer of any right of first refusal or other restraint on transfer of the timeshare interest or any portion thereof.
(2) A statement setting forth the amount of the periodic timeshare interest expense liability applicable to the timeshare interest to be sold, and any unpaid timeshare expense or special assessment or other sums currently due and payable from the seller as to the timeshare interest to be sold.
(3) A statement of any other fees payable by owners.
(4) A statement of any judgments or other matters that are or may become privileges against the timeshare interest or the timeshare property and the status of any pending suits that may result in those privileges.
B. A managing entity, within ten days after a request by an owner, shall furnish a certificate containing the information necessary to enable the timeshare owner to comply with this Section. An owner providing a certificate pursuant to Subsection A of this Section is not liable to the purchaser for any erroneous information provided by the managing entity and included in the certificate, other than for judgment privileges against the timeshare interest or the timeshare property.
C. A purchaser is not liable for any unpaid timeshare expense liability or fee greater than the amount set forth in a certificate prepared by a managing entity. An owner is not liable to a purchaser for the failure or delay of a managing entity to provide the certificate in a timely manner, but the contract to purchase or the transfer of the timeshare interest is voidable by the purchaser until the certificate has been provided.
