Common Questions About Real Estate Litigation
The new home I just purchased has defective construction and is not as described. What should I do?
All new homes are covered under the TARION warranty plan and the APS you signed will have covered the terms of that warranty. You should assess whether the defect new home is covered under the TARION warranty. Where possible, you may also want to collect the written records of how your home was described to you and assess them with the statements the builder or its sales representatives made. We recommend that you get in touch with a lawyer as soon as you can. Bear in mind that you may not be able to bring a claim after the limitation period of 2 years from your date of discovery of the claim has passed.
I am a commercial tenant in a retail-only building. My landlord wants to convert the building for office-use, which will drive away my prospective customers. What should I do?
Although the landlord is free to exercise its ownership over the property, you may have a claim against the landlord if they made any pre-lease promises to not change the “use” of the property and if such change affects you significantly. You may also have a claim if any renovation or construction work carried out by the landlord disrupt your “quiet enjoyment” over the property. Consult a lawyer to get a better grasp over your legal rights. You can read our article on this issue: National | Changing commercial property use (nationalmagazine.ca).
