A similar problem arises rom standard warranties about the septic or waste disposal system on the sale of a property with such a system. Waste disposal systems are regulated under the nvironmental Protection Act and have been highly regulated only since the early 1970's. Many properties have systems that were installed before regulation. Some of these systems are now undersized and Perianning minimally. Many owners have ittle knowledge of the age or capacity of their system and no real knowledge as to whether or not the system is pone. holo properly or adequately to prevent significant p ollution from the system. Such owners run real risks when they allow the Agreement of Purchase and Sale to include a warranty that during the vendor's ownership the septic system has performed adequately. When a new owner does more laundry and takes longer showers the system may become overloaded and then the new owner may look to the seller for the cost of a new septic system or holding tank. Often buyers and sellers wind up hiring court lawyers or going to small claims court over such matters. Today I see an alarming trend towards the inclusion of warranties on mechanical systems such as the furnace or central air conditioner as well as included appliances. Such warranties unless carefully thought about and properly worded can cause major headaches after closing when something doesn't work just right. Sellers must be very careful about the warranties they give in an Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Purchasers will natu- rally want to get all of the assurances they can from vendors. Vendors however, don't do themselves or anyone else a favour when they agree to purchasers' strongly worded warranties that just may not be entirely true. In my next column I will write about septic system searches under the Environmental Protection Act. | | | | | | | the green John Deere | | | |
