• Prior to renewing any marketing efforts and/or offering any of the New Homes for sale, or in the case of a Purchase and Sale Agreement already being in place for any of the properties, prior to selling any of the New Homes, the Aulakhs must:
  1. ensure that each of the New Homes is registered for coverage by home warranty insurance provided by a warranty provider pursuant to section 22(1) of the Act; or
  2. be granted a permission by the registrar of the HPO, pursuant to section 22(1.2) of the Act, authoring the Aulakhs to sell, or offer to sell, each of the New Homes despite the requirement of section 22(1.1) of the Act.
