Massachusetts S211 ensures safe homes by requiring contractors to provide an Implied Warranty of Habitability for renovated or remodeled properties.

Massachusetts S211 amends Chapter 93A of the General Laws to mandate that licensed building contractors who renovate or remodel a house or condominium they own and later sell must provide an Implied Warranty of Habitability to the purchaser. This warranty requires the property to be fit for human habitation and compliant with all applicable building codes and regulations. The warranty is enforceable by the purchaser, regardless of whether it is expressly stated in the contract.
