<p class="MsoNormal">The multiple listing’s form 21 would have another paragraph buried in the form with more details. E.g. for the 02/17 Form 21, on page 2 under Paragraph “h” it states: “Buyer is advised to verify the existence and amount of any …assessments
that may be charged against the Property before or after Closing. Seller will pay such charges that are or become due on or before Closing.
<u><span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Charges levied before Closing, but becoming due after Closing</span></u><span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow"> shall be paid as agreed in Specific Terms No. 13.”</span>

<p class="MsoNormal">A PC informs we that this section (13) and is marked prepaid by Seller at closing. The HOA has a special assessment of lets say 30K for 10 years of which we are in year 5. Seller’s attorney says that he prepaid the first 5 years and since
the last “payments” are not due until after closing the last 5 years are on Buyer.<o:p></o:p></p>
