The sky isn't...Methinks much ado about nothing. The sky isn't falling. It's simply not possible to force people in residence to bring their homes into compliance with current standards unless they present serious health hazards as documented by a legitimate inspector, and the only people who have a right to enter homes are law enforcement, and they need warrants.<br /><br />Yes, if you go to sell your home and it's out of compliance, what happens is that the cost of repairs is set aside as part of escrow, and comes off the top. The new owner would then have to have the repairs done with that money before taking occupancy. However, this is often the case RIGHT NOW. Buyers get Home Inspection reports and bargain the price down according to the defects, OR the money is set aside in escrow, like I said. <br /><br />The difference here is that apparently this is no longer going to be at the options of the buyer and seller, but mandated instead. Another freedom gone. What else is new?
