An Act providing safe homes for all

This bill requires licensed building contractors in Massachusetts who renovate or remodel their own homes and later sell them to provide an implied warranty of habitability to the buyer. The law mandates that these renovations must meet all applicable building codes and be fit for human living, similar to standards for new construction or rental properties. This warranty remains in effect for three years after the sale and cannot be waived by the contract, holding contractors financially responsible for any resulting personal injury or property damage. Additionally, the bill modifies the existing six-year statute of repose, which limits how long a contractor can be sued, by removing this time limit for contractors who fail to obtain required permits and inspections.
