Implied Warranties In Ohio Home Sales, Susan B. Brooks Jan 1981

Implied Warranties In Ohio Home Sales, Susan B. Brooks

Cleveland State Law Review

The majority of states other than Ohio have rejected the caveat emptor doctrine and adopted an implied warranty of habitability in the sale of new homes, but the irony of this situation is that it was an Ohio case, Vanderschrier v. Aaron, that first recognized implied warranties in the sale of a home. This Note will demonstrate that Ohio should adopt an implied warranty of habitability in the sale of new homes by builder-vendors.
