During the recent recession, condominium construction slowed down nationwide. In response, some states passed laws to incentivize condominium development. The result is lower construction standards, limited liability for construction defects, and complex and onerous burdens on communities with construction defects. Recent case law developments also have created additional obstacles that associations dealing with construction defects must overcome. This session explains recent changes in the law and how to best protect your clients.
Special Note: This program is a recorded education session from the 2017 CAI Law Seminar.
Duration: 90 minutes
