[CLC-Discussion] Residential contractor warranty

[Robert E. Doan]

This is definitely a recurring question and I think it has it's basis arising out of two things, 1.) it is pretty much an industry standard as an express contract provision and 2.)I think part of it comes from the case law supporting an implied warranty of habitability for new construction.

Subject: [CLC-Discussion] Residential contractor warranty

Hello folks,

	I have a relative who is a residential contractor.  He made reference to what he believed was a statutory requirement that residential builders provide a warranty of a minimum of one year to the owner.  Most of my practice involves commercial payment issues (i.e. liens and surety bond claims).  I reviewed Fl. Stat. ch 558 but did not see such a requirement.
Is anyone aware of such a statute and, if so, could you provide a citation?

Thank you very much.
