Summary

Existing law regulates a person who performs certain home inspections for a fee. Existing law provides that it is an unfair business practice for a home inspector, a company that employs the inspector, or a company that is controlled by a company that also has a financial interest in a company employing a home inspector, to do various acts, including performing or offering to perform, for an additional fee, any repairs to a structure on which the inspector, or the inspector's company, has prepared a home inspection report in the past 12 months. This bill would exempt from these provisions a licensed roofing contractor that performs repairs pursuant to his or her inspection of a roof for the specific purpose of providing a roof certification, as defined, if specified conditions are met. Existing law requires the disclosure of specified information upon the transfer of residential real property or the resale of a manufactured home or mobilehome that is classified as personal property and intended for residential use. Existing law exempts a listing or selling agent from liability for any error, inaccuracy, or omission of any information if the error, inaccuracy, or omission was not within the personal knowledge of the transferor or listing or selling agent, was based on information provided by public agencies or by other persons, including a report or opinion prepared by a licensed engineer, land surveyor, geologist, structural pest control operator, contractor, or other expert, dealing with matters within the scope of the professional's license and providing information that is required to be disclosed, and ordinary care was exercised in obtaining and transmitting the information. This bill would include a report or opinion, prepared by a C-39 roofing contractor who conducts a home inspection under specified circumstances, among those reports or opinions upon which a listing or selling agent may base his or her personal knowledge in order to be exempt from liability for any error, inaccuracy, or omission in the information that is required to be disclosed upon the transfer of residential real property.
