Proposed Law in Michigan Worries Home Inspectors

Legislation in Michigan's House of Representatives has home inspectors in the state worried too much liability will be shifted to inspectors.

State home inspectors were the initial sponsors of House Bill 6088, requiring that inspectors have a home inspection license and be held responsible for a minimum amount of training. "In Michigan, there are no licensing requirements for home inspectors. The training isn't necessary and right now, any person could print out business cards or put together a letterhead and call themselves a home inspector," said Randy Aldering, president of the Michigan Association of Home Inspectors, in a recent interview with The Daily Tribune.

The Association is now concerned that a last-minute amendment, which will open home inspectors up to expanded liability issues, will increase the insurance premiums home inspectors pay. The fear is that such a law will ultimately drive some inspectors out-of-business. "It's unfair, because it shifts all the responsibility to us," said Dennis Durandetto, owner of Denco Home Inspection in Commerce Township, Mich. "We can't really open up the walls. If something should get by us that is hidden or covered up by the seller, under this law we could be held liable for that."

Individuals interested in becoming a home inspector should consider enrolling in an online home inspection course. Distance education allows people to train on the weekends or at night, which means they can keep their current jobs while they prepare for a home inspection career.
