Q. The waste plumbing was improperly installed in our home from the builder. They did not prime the joints.

May 12, 2023

A: No. North Carolina has a 6 year statute of repose for faulty construction. That typically runs from when the certificate of occupancy was issued for the home. You would have to be both within the 3 year statute of limitation and the 6 year statute of repose to seek recovery from the builder. You are well past both.

Q. Can my landlord cut my power off when he gets mad at me even though I pay the electricity bill in his name

November 11, 2021

A: It is illegal for your landlord to cut off your power for nonpayment of rent or any other reason. You should seek assistance from an attorney regarding your lease.

Q. Can GC refuse to pay a change order if the work was performed but the change order wasn't turned in by a specific time?

February 12, 2021

A: It would probably be best to have an attorney review the contract before providing you advice on this question. Generally speaking, the terms of the written contract are enforceable. I think ultimately the contractor would have to show some prejudice that occured due to the failure to submit on a timely basis. If they authorized the work and you did the work, then they clearly got the value of the work performed. The contract probably also says that all change orders have to be in writing, but they have probably been requesting and paying for change orders without writings, so there is a question of whether they may have waived certain provisions of the contract by conduct.
