ay Montgomery started Ray Montgomery Inc. in 1974 and not long after his son Steve Montgomery joined the company. Since then Mr. Ray has retired. In 2013 Steve's son Colin Montgomery came on board. This is truly a family owned and operated business and it shows in the continuous quality of each home they build.

The Montgomery's use local Craftsman on every home and are on site throughout the building process to ensure consistency. Ray Montgomery Homes have consistently rated an average of 22 percent higher than code requirement on energy efficiency. This makes for a more comfortable home and lower utility bills throughout the life of the home. Call Christine or Andre to Preview 101 Waterfowl or 409 Channel Drive.

Steps to Reduce Your Household’s Water Use

By Doug Trahan, AHBA President An average family of four uses 400 gallons of water each day, so it’s important to find ways to use water more wisely. Fortunately there a plenty of inexpensive, relatively simple steps that will make a big difference in how much water you use.

Fix Hidden Leaks According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, up to 10% of homes have easy-to-fix leaks that waste at least 90 gallons a day. In fact, a toilet leak could be wasting about 200 gallons of water daily. A simple fix with a few tools and parts from the hardware store could solve the problem.

A degraded toilet flapper can use the same water as leaving a faucet running at a constant stream. To check for a leaky flapper, put a drop of food coloring in the toilet tank and wait 10 minutes. If the color shows up in the bowl, you’ve got a leak that is easily fixed with a new flapper.

Your water meter can tell you a lot about whether you’ve got a leak. Find a time when no one will be using water for at least a couple of hours — maybe before you leave for work or a family outing — and note the water meter reading. When you return, see if it has changed. If it has, you’ve got a leak somewhere.

Eliminate Running Water When you’re brushing your teeth or shaving, flip off the tap while you scrub or use the razor. Leaving the water running lets as much as eight gallons of unused water run down the drain (and run up your water bill) each day.

Teaching your kids this habit will multiply the savings.

If you’re using hoses and sprinklers, take a few minutes to ensure your sprinkler system is working efficiently to minimize water waste.

Begin by inspecting sprinkler heads for clogs or damage. Then, ensure that your sprinkler heads are securely connected to pipes and hoses. You may need to replace the rubber washers to get a good seal.

Finally, aim the sprays to make sure water lands where it will soak into the earth, not pool on sidewalks, driveways and patios. Set water sprays as low to the ground as possible to give wind and sun less chance to evaporate the droplets. It’s typically best to water early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid peak sunshine.

To learn more about ways to save water or improve your home’s overall efficiency, visit epa.gov/watersense or contact AHBA at 337981-3053 or visit www.acadianhba.com.

Outdoor Watering Done Right Your outdoor watering techniques could be another area for improvement. Outdoor water use makes up about 30% of the average water bill – and most of that is used for maintaining landscapes. Yet up to half of the water that home owners use outside is wasted because of inefficient watering methods and systems.

GENERAL COUNSEL

CLAIM AGAINST BUILDING OWNER FOR BUYERS SHOULD DO THEIR HOMEWORK WORK THE OWNER DID NOT APPROVE BEFORE BUYING

Q:

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A HOUSE HERE IN LAFAYETTE, AND A FEW DAYS AFTER WE CLOSED, I DISCOVERED THAT THE HOUSE HAS A SERIOUS MOLD ISSUE. TO FIX IT, I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE A WALL AND THE FLOORING IN ONE OF THE BEDROOMS. THE SELLER DIDN’T DISCLOSE THIS ON THE PROPERTY DISCLOSURE FORM THEY FILLED OUT, AND WHEN I ASKED THEM ABOUT IT AFTER THE FACT, THEY SAID THEY DIDN’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE MOLD PROBLEM. I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE BECAUSE THERE WERE WATER SPOTS ON THE CARPET IN THE BEDROOM WHERE THE MOLD IS. WHAT KIND OF RECOURSE DO I HAVE NOW?

A:

Once a home purchase is complete, a buyer has no automatic recourse. This is the main reason real estate professionals always suggest that buyers have the property professionally inspected before they agree to buy it.

Q:

MY SON IS A SELF-EMPLOYED ELECTRICIAN. HE RECENTLY DID A LOT OF WORK ON A COMMERCIAL BUILDING HERE IN LAFAYETTE. HE ONLY GOT PAID FOR A SMALL PORTION OF THE WORK, AND THE GUY THAT HIRED HIM HAS APPARENTLY SKIPPED TOWN. AS IT TURNS OUT, THE MAN WHO HIRED HIM DID NOT OWN THE BUILDING – HE WAS LEASING IT FROM SOMEONE ELSE. THE OWNERS OF THE BUILDING SAY THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE LESSEE REGARDING IMPROVEMENTS. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE OWNERS APPROVED THE WORK OR NOT, THE BUILDING HAS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVED IN VALUE AS A RESULT OF THE WORK MY SON DID. IS THERE ANYTHING MY SON CAN DO TO GET PAID FOR THE WORK HE DID?

If the inspector finds problems, you can negotiate repairs with the seller, and if the seller won’t cooperate, you can walk away That depends. In Louisiana, per La. R.S. 9:4802, from the deal. These days, most purchase agreement include subcontractors, (i.e. electricians, plumbers, bricklayers, language that allows the buyer to walk away from the deal if etc.) have a claim against the owner of a building and a the necessary repairs exceed a certain amount (usually around claim against the contractor to secure payment for the $1,000). price of their work. However, the claims against an However, once the deal is closed, you own the problems, owner that are granted by La. R.S. 9:4802 are limited and your options are more limited. You can pay for the repairs to owners who have contracted with the contractor for yourself, try to get the seller to pay voluntarily, or take the seller such work, or who have agreed in writing to the price to court. of the work.

A:

Stephen J. Oats

But, you should know that you have a hard battle in front of you. The property disclosure form that the seller signed does not require him to know all the ins and outs of his home. For example, if he doesn’t know whether or not there was termite damage or water damage to the property (i.e. before he bought it), it is completely acceptable for him to check “don’t know.”

Since you said the owner of this particular building denies approving the work, unless your son can prove otherwise, he may not have the right to proceed against them under La. R.S. 9:4802. This doesn’t mean however, that your son is left out in the cold. If he can’t proceed against the owners or the lessee under La. R.S. To prevail in court you would have to show that the seller 9:4802 or another statute, he may have a claim against knew or reasonably should have known that the mold problem the owners for “unjust enrichment.” existed. But, the judge is also going to hold you to that same Per Louisiana Civil Code Article 2298, “a person standard. If you could have discovered the problem by doing who has been enriched without cause at the expense your homework, the seller is not going to bear the entire burden. of another person is bound to compensate that person.”

And, did you have the home professionally inspected? It However, the remedy of unjust enrichment is a last probably won’t go well for you if you didn’t, or if you noticed the resort, and is only available if the law does not provide water spots on the carpet and didn’t investigate further before another legal remedy for your son. you bought the house.

If you did have a professional inspection on the house before you bought it, and the inspector didn’t detect the mold problem, then you might be able to get some money out of the inspector.

But, you probably won’t get much. A lot of inspection contracts these days limit damages to a refund of the inspection price. You will have to check the terms of your contract with the inspector to see whether can be held liable and for how much.

To prove unjust enrichment, your son must prove the following: (1) that there has been an enrichment; (2) that there has been an impoverishment; (3) that there is a connection between the enrichment and the resulting impoverishment; (4) that there is an absence of “justification” or “cause” for the enrichment and impoverishment; and (5) there must be no other remedy at law available to him.

Without more information, I can’t really tell you In the end, only you can decide if it’s worth it to sue the seller whether or not your son would have a claim against the in small claims court, or to hire an attorney to take your case to owner for unjust enrichment, but it’s worth a call to an a higher court. attorney.

RAA in the News 1st Place Essay by Camille Delcambre of Our Lady of Fatima School Be Yourself How would it make you feel if you wanted to buy a house and the owner or realtor said you can’t because of the way you look? Bad, right? Well that is what the Fair Housing act is about. The Fair Housing act says you must provide equal housing opportunities to all people regardless of their race, color, familial status, age, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, and gender identity or expression. The Fair Housing act was started in 1968, shortly after Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated. The black population in urban areas increased from 6.1 million to 15.3 million. If this law was not in affect a lot of people would not have good houses even though they can afford it. This law protects discrimination against people who might look different or act different. We are all the same, because we are all born in the likeness of God. That is why this law is so important, so people don’t feel like they shouldn’t be themselves just because they can’t purchase or rent a house. This law helps so many people, it lets people be themselves and not be scared to be themselves. Even with all of this, people still break this law. Maybe not on purpose, maybe they are being biased, or choosing people who they think are normal. But what is the definition of normal? Being usual, typical, conforming to a standard. I don’t want to be normal, I’m not normal, I’m my own person. I love that self. If I’ve learned anything from this essay, it taught me to express myself and not be “normal”.
