Real property – Condominium – Deposits

Where a plaintiff brought suit to rescind his purchase of a condominium unit, to recoup his deposits on a second unit and to recover damages, a judgment dismissing the complaint must be affirmed, as the plaintiff’s complaint fails to state valid claims for breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, misrepresentation or violation of G.L.c. 93A.
