On a home improvement contract, the down payment a contractor may collect is limited by law to whichever is less:
a.25% of the contract or $5,000
b.20% of the contract or $10,000
c.50% of the contract or $2,500
d.10% of the contract price or $1,000
解析
Under B&P Code §7159, for home improvement contracts the down payment cannot exceed 10% of the contract price or $1,000, whichever is LESS. This protects consumers from large upfront payments; the balance is collected through progress payments as work proceeds.
