(a) A judicial proceeding for breach of an obligation arising under section 515B.4-101(e) or 515B.4-106(d) shall be commenced within 12 months after the conveyance of the unit or other parcel of real estate.

An agreement reducing the period of limitation signed by one purchaser of a unit shall be binding on any copurchasers of the unit. If an agreement reducing the period of limitations is recorded in compliance with applicable law, the agreement is binding on the purchaser's and copurchaser's successors in title to the unit. With respect to a unit that may be occupied for residential use, an agreement to reduce the period of limitation must be evidenced by an instrument separate from the purchase agreement signed by a purchaser of the unit. (c) Subject to subsection (d), a cause of action under section 515B.4-112 or 515B.4-113, regardless of the purchaser's lack of knowledge of the breach, accrues: (1) as to a unit, at the earlier of the time of conveyance of any interest in the unit by a declarant to a bona fide purchaser, other than an affiliate of a declarant, or the time a purchaser enters into possession of the unit. As to a unit subject to time shares, a cause of action accrues upon the earlier of the conveyance of the unit or the conveyance of the first time share interest in the unit to a purchaser; and (2) as to each common element, the latest of (i) the time the common element is completed; (ii) the time the first interest in a unit in the common interest community is conveyed to a bona fide purchaser, or, if the common element is located on property that was additional real estate, at the time the first interest in a unit created thereon is conveyed to a bona fide purchaser; or (iii) the termination of the period of declarant control. (d) If a warranty explicitly extends to future performance or duration of any improvement or component of the common interest community, the cause of action accrues at the time the breach is discovered or at the end of the period for which the warranty explicitly extends, whichever is earlier. (e) This section applies only to common interest communities created on or after August 1, 2011. History:   2011 c 116 art 2 s 22

(a) In addition to any other rights to recover damages, attorney's fees, costs or expenses, whether authorized by this chapter or otherwise, if a declarant, an association, or any other person violates any provision of this chapter, or any provision of the declaration, bylaws, or rules and regulations any person or class of persons adversely affected by the failure to comply has a claim for appropriate relief. Subject to the requirements of section 515B.3-102, the association shall have standing to pursue claims on behalf of the unit owners of two or more units. (b) The court may award reasonable attorney's fees and costs of litigation to the prevailing party. Punitive damages may be awarded for a willful failure to comply. (c) As a condition precedent to any construction defect claim, the parties to the claim must submit the matter to mediation before a mutually agreeable neutral third party. For the purposes of this section, mediation has the meaning given under the General Rules of Practice, rule 114.02 (7). If the parties are not able to agree on a neutral third-party mediator from the roster maintained by the Minnesota Supreme Court, the parties may petition the district court in the jurisdiction in which the common interest community is located to appoint a mediator. The applicable statute of limitations and statute of repose for an action based on breach of a warranty imposed by this section, or any other action in contract, tort, or other law for any injury to real or personal property or bodily injury or wrongful death arising out of the alleged construction defect, is tolled from the date that any party makes a written demand for mediation under this section until the latest of the following: (1) five business days after mediation is completed; or (2) 180 days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, mediation shall not be required prior to commencement of a construction defect claim if the parties have completed home warranty dispute resolution under section 327A.051. (d) The remedies provided for under this chapter are not exclusive and do not abrogate any remedies under other statutes or the common law, notwithstanding whether those remedies are referred to in this chapter.
