Q: I submitted to D.R. Horton warranty a lot of defects of my new house.
After many weeks of nothing being fixed, I decided to "video tape" the next time they came with another "third party manager". Under NRS 200, I am in all my right to have cameras inside my house, but I also gave them the disclaimer before entering the house. Two days later, their next visit to my house was canceled just an hour before. No excuses were given. And two days later a "manager" from the Warranty Dept. called me and said that since I was recording when they came to my house "moving forward we are not going again to your house". He said he was going to call me in two days after their Legal Dept. get back to him... But it's been two weeks already. And at this time, nothing has been fixed and there is a lot to fix in the house. I think they are just looking for excuses to not comply with their said "warranty". What should I do next? Should I look for a lawyer? What type of lawyer?
A: The situation you described suggests a potential breach of warranty or contractual obligations on the part of D.R. Horton. If they are unwilling to address the warranty issues you've pointed out, and if their response to your attempts to document the issues is to refuse service, you may indeed have grounds to take further action. It could be beneficial to consult with an attorney specializing in real estate or construction law. Given the value of a home and the potential costs of repairs, having legal representation can ensure your interests are protected and that you navigate the situation in a manner consistent with your rights and obligations.
