MoldStar Remediation, a mold inspection and remediation company serving the Marietta, Georgia area, has released a new educational blog post titled 'Understanding the Georgia Right to Repair Act: A Guide for Homeowners.' The blog post explains the basic steps required before filing a lawsuit over a construction defect, and how water intrusion and building defects can lead to moisture problems and mold growth inside a home.

Why it matters

Many homeowners struggle to navigate the Georgia Right to Repair Act when dealing with construction defects that have led to water damage and mold growth. This guide provides important information to help homeowners understand their rights and the required process before taking legal action.

The details

The blog post explains that the Georgia Right to Repair Act requires homeowners to provide written notice to the contractor before filing a construction defect lawsuit. This notice must be served at least 90 days before the lawsuit begins and must clearly describe the alleged defects. The contractor then has the right to inspect the property and respond in writing, either accepting the claim and offering repairs, rejecting the claim, or proposing a settlement. Homeowners have about 30 days to accept or reject the contractor's offer. If the issue remains unresolved after the 90-day notice period, the homeowner can proceed to litigation, though their recovery may be limited if they reject a reasonable settlement offer.

  • Homeowners must provide written notice to the contractor at least 90 days before filing a construction defect lawsuit.
  • Contractors have about 30 days to respond in writing to the homeowner's notice of claim.
