Complete·5/15/26

Louisiana HB1027 shields real estate appraisers from liability for sellers' failure to comply with smoke and carbon monoxide detector laws.

Louisiana HB1027 amends existing law to ensure that real estate appraisers are not held liable if a seller fails to comply with regulations requiring smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in one- or two-family dwellings. This change extends the existing protection from liability to real estate appraisers, aligning their legal status with that of real estate agents. The bill aims to clarify and protect the roles of real estate professionals in residential sales.
