Florida Legislation Would Restrict Claims Against Home Builders

State Representative Gary Aubuchon of Cape Coral, Florida has introduced a bill into that state's legislature which would restrict the ability of new home buyers to sue their builders over construction problems. The bill tightens the requirements that home purchasers provide detailed written notice of problems to the builder, provide written documentation of the defects, and promptly respond to requests for information. Home buyers must give the builders a change to repair the problem before filing suit, and are penalized for delays in providing requested information.
