Can the developer delay the delivery of housing and labor arbitration solve it?
[Lawyer's Reply] With regard to the delay in the delivery of houses by developers, labor arbitration is usually unable to solve the problem. This kind of dispute belongs to commercial housing sales contract dispute, which should be handled through civil litigation. According to the relevant provisions of the Civil Code, the developer's delay in delivering the house is a breach of contract. It is recommended that you take the following steps: 1 First, carefully check the specific provisions of the house purchase contract regarding the delivery time and the liability for breach of contract for delayed delivery. 2. Collect relevant evidence, including house purchase contract, payment voucher, developer's delay notice, etc. 3. You can first claim the liability for breach of contract from the developer through a written letter, and require the developer to pay liquidated damages or compensate for losses as agreed in the contract. 4. If the negotiation fails, a lawsuit can be filed with the people's court where the house is located. It is recommended that you take action as soon as possible, because such disputes usually have limitation of action. If the amount involved is large, professional lawyers can also be considered for intervention.
