Abstract
This comment examines the status in Washington of the implied warranty of habitability as applied to the sale of new houses. The comment will explore the identity of the builder-vendor, the general nature of the warranty, and its specific elements. The Washington warranty is contrasted to those of other jurisdictions, suggestions are made for its modification, and a model statutory warranty is proposed.
