RED ALERT! Stop AB 1406. C.A.R. opposes AB 1406 (Ward) which MORE THAN TRIPLES the cap on liquidated damages in transactions where a buyer is purchasing a newly constructed owner-occupied condominium. AB 1406 dismantles strong consumer protections for buyers, putting their savings at risk to finance the condominium projects. Take action here to stop AB1406:

The bill triples the statutory cap on liquidated damages in transactions where a buyer is purchasing a newly constructed owner-occupied condominium from a developer.
