New home warranty appeal largely dismissed as builder complied with agreement and industry standards.
The appellants appealed a decision by Tarion Warranty Corporation denying several claims regarding alleged defects in their new home built by the added party.
The claims included issues with the pre-delivery inspection, front entrance steps, kitchen crown moulding, shower unit, hardwood flooring gaps, fireplace vent, and driveway grading.
The Tribunal dismissed all claims except for one relating to kitchen panels, which Tarion conceded.
The Tribunal found that the builder complied with the agreement of purchase and sale, the Ontario Building Code, and industry standards, and that the appellants failed to prove any breach of statutory warranties for the disputed items.
