Arizona Builders Right to Repair - Current Law Summary:
(HB 2620;
ARS §12-1363, 1361, 1364) Current laws on the books require a purchaser of a
home to provide written notice at least 90 days before commencing legal
action. This gives the homebuilder time to inspect, repair or replace the
defect if it falls within the specifications of the warranty. Homebuilder
has 60 days to respond to written notice which may include offer to replace,
repair or offer monetary compensation
SB 1311
is a similar statute that covers multi-family dwellings. If no resolution is
met through alternative dispute resolution procedures and a civil lawsuit is
filed, the seller’s insurance company must treat a notice of a dwelling
action as a notice of a claim subject to the insurance policy without
affecting available coverage under the policy
A. At least ninety days before filing a dwelling action, the purchaser shall give written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the seller specifying in reasonable detail the basis of the dwelling action. The notice in a multiunit dwelling action involving alleged defects that are substantially similar in multiple residential units may comply with this section by providing a reasonably detailed description of the alleged defects in a fair and representative sample of the affected residential units. For the purposes of this subsection, "reasonable detail" includes a detailed and itemized list that describes each alleged defect and the location that each alleged defect has been observed by the purchaser in each dwelling that is the subject of the notice.
B. After receipt of the notice described in subsection A of this section, the seller may inspect the dwelling to determine the nature and cause of the alleged defects and the nature and extent of any repairs or replacements necessary to remedy the alleged defects. The purchaser shall ensure that the dwelling is made available for inspection no later than ten days after the purchaser receives the seller's request for an inspection. The seller shall provide reasonable notice to the purchaser before conducting the inspection. The inspection shall be conducted at a reasonable time. The seller may use reasonable measures, including testing, to determine the nature and cause of the alleged defects and the nature and extent of any repairs or replacements necessary to remedy the alleged defects. If the seller conducts testing pursuant to this subsection, the seller shall restore the dwelling to its condition before the testing.
C. Within sixty days after receipt of the notice described in subsection A of this section, the seller shall send to the purchaser a good faith written response to the purchaser's notice by certified mail, return receipt requested. The response may include an offer to repair or replace any alleged defects, to have the alleged defects repaired or replaced at the seller's expense or to provide monetary compensation to the purchaser. The offer shall describe in reasonable detail all repairs or replacements that the seller is offering to make or provide to the dwelling and a reasonable estimate of the date by which the repairs or replacements will be made or monetary compensation will be provided.
D. If the seller does not provide a written response to the purchaser's notice within sixty days, the purchaser may file a dwelling action without waiting for the expiration of ninety days as required by subsection A of this section.
E. Within twenty days after receipt of the seller's offer made pursuant to subsection C of this section, the purchaser shall provide a good faith written response. A purchaser who accepts the seller's offer made pursuant to subsection C of this section shall do so in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested. A purchaser who rejects the seller's offer made pursuant to subsection C of this section shall respond to the seller in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested. If the seller provides a specific factual basis for the offer, the response shall include the specific factual basis for the purchaser's rejection of the seller's offer and the purchaser's counteroffer, if any. Within ten days after receipt of the purchaser's response, the seller may make a best and final offer to the purchaser in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested.
F. The following are not admissible in any dwelling action:
1. A purchaser's good faith notice given to the seller pursuant to subsection A of this section.
2. A seller's good faith response or offer made pursuant to subsection C of this section.
3. A purchaser's good faith response made to a seller's offer pursuant to subsection E of this section.
4. A purchaser's good faith counteroffer to a seller's offer made pursuant to subsection E of this section.
5. A seller's good faith best and final offer made pursuant to subsection E of this section.
G. A purchaser may amend the notice provided pursuant to subsection A of this section to include alleged defects identified in good faith after submission of the original notice during the ninety day notice period. The seller shall have a reasonable period of time to conduct an inspection, if requested, and thereafter the parties shall comply with the requirements of subsections B, C and E of this section for the additional alleged defects identified in reasonable detail in the notice.
H. A purchaser's written notice made pursuant to subsection A of this section or an amended notice made pursuant to subsection G of this section tolls the applicable statute of limitations, including section 12-552, until ninety days after the seller receives the notice or for a reasonable period agreed to in writing by the purchaser and seller.
I. Subject to Arizona rules of court, during the pendency of a dwelling action the purchaser may supplement the list of alleged defects to include additional alleged defects identified in good faith after filing of the original dwelling action that have been identified in reasonable detail as required by this section. The court shall provide the seller a reasonable amount of time to inspect the dwelling to determine the nature and cause of the additional alleged defects and the nature and extent of any repairs or replacements necessary to remedy the additional alleged defects. The parties shall comply with the requirements of subsections B, C and E of this section for the additional alleged defects identified in reasonable detail in the notice.
J. The service of an amended notice identifying in reasonable detail the alleged defects during the pendency of a dwelling action shall relate back to the original notice of alleged defects for the purpose of tolling applicable statutes of limitations, including section 12-552.
K. By written agreement of the seller and purchaser, the time periods provided in this section may be extended.
L. For the sale of a dwelling that occurs within the statutory period set forth in section 12-552, the escrow agent, as defined in section 6-801, shall provide notice to the purchaser of the provisions of this section and sections 12-1361 and 12-1362. Nothing in this subsection creates a fiduciary duty or provides any person or entity with a private right or cause of action or administrative action.
