Statute text

(a)The furnishing of a home protection contract without charge to any person shall constitute a violation of this part. No home protection contract providing coverage prior to the time an interest in the home to which it attaches is sold shall be issued or delivered unless it provides for consideration. Such consideration may consist of a bona fide promise to pay the protection contract fee at the time of and only upon transfer of title.

(b)A home protection company may require an onsite inspection as a prequalification for the issuance of a home protection contract, and in such event offer a report on the inspection in connection with a bona fide application for the issuance of such contract even though the issuance of a contract on the property which is the subject of the inspection does not occur.
