Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 1 Exam Practice

Within the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan, which problem is covered under the 7-year warranty?

1. Defects in finishing materials

2. Leaking windows due to improper caulking

3. Water seepage where basement wall meets the basement floor

4. Roof sag due to defective roof trusses

The correct answer is: Roof sag due to defective roof trusses

The 7-year warranty within the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan covers major structural defects, such as a roof sag due to defective roof trusses. While options A, B, and C may also be considered defects, they are not covered under the 7-year warranty as they are considered minor defects or maintenance issues. Defects in finishing materials are typically covered under the 1-year warranty, while leaking windows and water seepage may be covered depending on the reason for the issue. Therefore, only option D is specifically covered under the 7-year warranty, making it the correct choice.
