AN ACT ESTABLISHING A NONWAIVABLE RIGHT TO A HOME INSPECTION FOR A PURCHASER OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.
HB 6356 establishes a mandatory 10-day window for residential property buyers to conduct a home inspection after the seller accepts their offer, and prohibits sellers from requiring buyers to waive this right. The law directly affects homebuyers by guaranteeing access to inspection services before closing, with no exceptions allowed. Key provisions require sellers to allow inspections within 10 days of offer acceptance and prevent buyers from signing agreements that forfeit this right. This policy change ensures buyers have a standardized, non-negotiable period to assess property conditions prior to purchase.
