Article 16 Liability of successor for service charge

Where a person who becomes, or is to become, an owner of a unit in the development obtains a certificate signed by the manager stating that as at the date on which it is signed no service charge is outstanding as respects the unit or, as the case may be, that any service charge due does not exceed an amount specified in the certificate, then, apart from a service charge no greater than the amount so specified, that person shall not be liable for any service charge which was outstanding on that date.

The manager must, on the request of the person mentioned in paragraph (1), prepare and sign a certificate required for the purposes of that paragraph and provide it to that person.
