Construction Defect Dwelling Actions
Arizona law gives a seller the opportunity to repair or replace any alleged construction defects. A purchaser was previously required to notify the seller by certified mail at least 90 days before filing a dwelling action, specifying in reasonable detail the basis of the dwelling action. After the seller received notice, the seller was permitted to inspect the dwelling to determine the nature and cause of the alleged defects and the nature and extent of any repairs or replacements needed to remedy the defects.
