Oregon to wipe out inspector's ability to limit liability?

[Nick Gromicko]

It appears there will be a proposed rule change discussed to make it illegal for an Oregon home inspector to have a "limitation of liability" clause in their contract. The board will only publish their agenda about 4 days before the meeting, to be held April 27th http://www.oregon.gov/CCB/board.shtml

All members are encouraged to attend.

Are they following the lead of Kansas

[Gary Farnsworth]

All business and corporate contracts limit liability. If states make home inspectors take that out of contracts, this may be unconstitutional. We have an agreement, a personal contract between us and our client. What we both agree to, should not be interfered with.

Nice... A handy stranded aluminum clothes line...

Didn't the listing agent disclose that on the seller's disclosure statement?

Realtors and sellers need to take some of the heat. Incredible.

A high school aquaintance of my daughter (she's now 2nd year university) was electrecuted while travelling in India last fall. He washed his clothes and leaned out a window to try to hang them on a wire.....it was high voltage!!

He survived about 1+1/2 days but from the sounds of his condition, death might have been the kinder way out.
