[net.consumers] Home Owners Warrenty

eagan@drufl.UUCP (EaganMS) (08/20/84)

In states where it is not a law for  home builders to be a member of
HOW (Home Owners Warrenty)  is it considered common for builders
to decide NOT to join HOW? In other words do GOOD builders continue to join
even if they are not required to?

jcp@brl-tgr.ARPA (Joe Pistritto <jcp>) (08/22/84)

In Maryland it is not required for a builder to honor any other warranty
on a new home except the 1 year manufacturing defect warranty that was
enacted into law decades ago.

Here many of the 'better' builders and lots of the others do the Home
Owner's Warranty program, in fact, you see the HOW symbol in lots of
real estate advertising here, its a big selling point...
