Contratos y EjecuciónPregunta 732 de 1632

The 'Notice to Owner' that must accompany a home improvement contract primarily explains:

a.How the finished remodel will affect the resale value of the home
b.The policy limits carried on the contractor's liability insurance
c.How the owner may obtain the building permit from the city directly
d.The owner's rights and duties under the mechanics lien laws

Explicación

B&P §7159(e) requires the contract to carry the statutory 'Mechanics Lien Warning', which tells the owner that anyone who helps improve the property and is not paid may record a lien; that paying the contractor in full is no defence; that each subcontractor and supplier must send a Preliminary Notice, which can arrive up to 20 days after they start; and that the owner protects himself by getting a list of subs and suppliers, waiting 20 days, and paying by joint check. (b) is a genuine near-miss — §7159(e) does require a commercial general liability disclosure, but it is a yes/no statement with the insurer's name and telephone number, not policy limits. (a) and (c) are required nowhere; the contract addresses permits by saying who is responsible for obtaining them, not by explaining how.

Referencia Legal: Bus. & Prof. Code §7159(e); Civil Code §8200
