- If say confirmed, from the date on which you rec'd letter of confirmed date, they can only delay 2 times from confirmed date:
- Max 135 days - 1 major delay and 1 minor delay - 120 days for major and 15 days for minor
- Major delay must be before minor delay
- Must give 65 days notice for major delay and 35 days for minor
- Can claim up to $5k max if breach, only after occupancy

I was given a 'confirmed' occupancy date of April 21 2010, and have been delayed to July 21, 2010 - that constitutes a major delay, so only a 15 day minor delay is now possible. I suggest that anyone who has been delayed for greater than 120 days from their confirmed occupancy date take action and seek compensation.
I can't believe they deleted my post from last night, not cool!!! Still fuming...
