TARION

Tarion Warranty Corporation administers Ontario’s new home warranty and protection program, backstopping the statutory warranty coverage provided to purchasers by the builder of their new home. Almost every new home in the province is covered by a new home warranty. Tarion’s role includes investigating new home owner warranty claims, resolving warranty disputes between new home owners and builders, and managing the Guarantee Fund, an important financial reserve to help protect Ontario consumers.

THE HCRA
