re: Louisiana New Home Warranty Act

I thought Louisiana law was a 12 month warranty on all new homes.

The act is actually a set of three warranties that have 1,2 and 5 year periods and cover different substantive issues.

Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC fall under the 2 year period. If the OP is getting close to the 2 year date he needs to be proactive in contact and documentation. The clock starts when legal title transfers or when the owner first occupies the home. In most but not all cases it would be the date of closing.
