  • apply for and become a BCH LRB pursuant to section 14(1) of the Act, and register the New Home for coverage by HWI provided by a warranty provider pursuant to section 22(1) of the Act;
  • if Zigler meets the eligibility requirements, Zigler may apply for, and be issued, an Owner Builder Authorization for the New Home on the property pursuant to section 20(1) of the Act and section 4.1(2) of the Homeowner Protection Act Regulation; or
  • provide BCH Compliance Department evidence that the New Home no longer meets the definition of a ‘new home’ as defined under the Act, or that the New Home is a manufactured home certified under CSA Standard CAN/CSA-A277 or CSA-Z240.
