Shoddy Construction causes litigation all too often
We love to buy a new home. We get taken through model homes and we are shown what out new home will be like.
Many developers will fix any defects you find in the actual home you buy, but what happens when they refuse to or they are slow to respond?
In many cases, there is a homeowners association that will help you deal with such a crisis. However, these associations usually consist of other homeoweners who volunteer for the job.
That means they may not have the experience to know which building codes have not been met, what the seriousness of any particular defect is, and may not have any legal experience.
So what can you do? This is a painful process at times with unkept promises by the developer, slow response, continued filings, etc.
Well the CAI, the Community Associations Institute has published a guide to help you through the process. It costs $49.95 but may be exactly what you need.
