I represented a woman from Iran who leased her home to her parents who spoke no English. They ran into a contractor who talked them into re-doing the driveway. Of course the driveway turned out to be "different" than all the other homes. Our argument was that after years of doing nothing a new HOA board member on a walk-through noticed and threated to have someone put in a new driveway and charge the owner of the home. The law provides that if sufficient time goes by the law will assume it has passed any sort of implied inspection. We fought on behalf of the owner for well over a year and eventually prevailed.
