A home improvement contract states the project 'will start sometime soon and finish when done.' What is the defect?
Giải thích
B&P §7159(d)(10) requires the heading 'Approximate Start Date' followed by the approximate date work will commence, and §7159(d)(11) requires the estimated completion date to be referenced — both of them — and §7164(b)(2) requires the same pair in a contract to build a single-family dwelling. 'Sometime soon' and 'when done' are not approximations but the absence of a term, and §7159(a)(5) makes that cause for discipline. (d) keeps half the requirement, which is how this violation usually looks in practice. (c) invents a dollar threshold; the only threshold in the article is the $500 that makes it a home improvement contract at all. (b) reads 'approximate' as 'optional', when the statute has already made its concession by asking for an approximate date rather than a firm one.
