Justin has entered into a contract to buy a home from Skylar. The contract contains no express warranties concerning the condition of the home. After Justin buys the home from Skylar, he discovers that the home’s foundation is cracked and the structure is unsafe. It will be expensive to repair the problem. Can Justin make Skylar pay for the repairs? Explain your answer.
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
Justin probably cannot make Skylar pay for the repairs. The doctrine of caveat emptor provides that, absent some express warranty, a seller is not responsible to a buyer for any physical conditions concerning the improvements on the land. A buyer who fails to obtain express warranties from a seller buys the property “as is” and “at risk.”
