Contracts & ExecutionQuestion 773 of 1605
A contractor's home improvement contract lists the total price but no breakdown of the payment schedule. Under §7159, this is:
a.Non-compliant, because a schedule of progress payments is required
b.Fully compliant
c.Only an issue if the buyer is a senior
d.Acceptable for jobs under $10,000
Explanation
B&P §7159 requires a schedule of progress payments describing each phase and its dollar amount; a contract that lists only a total price fails this requirement.
