买卖大麻屋合约条款手记

近年来,大麻屋日益增多,除了给社区带来治安问题,也给业主带来重大的经济损失。在买卖大麻屋过程中,涉及很多法律上的问题。万一您不幸成为大麻屋的业主而急于要将物业卖掉,又或者您钟情于购买低于市价的大麻屋,都必须小心处理每个环节,并多咨询法律意见,以免陪了夫人又折兵或得不偿失,再加官司缠身。
 
法例规定,大麻屋的业主在出售该物业时,必须如实向买家申报,不得有任何隐瞒。作为经纪,无论是代表买方或卖方,同样有责任如实向客户申报。在处理大麻屋的买卖合约时,有关的条款相当重要,以下是其中的两个条款供大家参考使用:
 
买家确认自己所买的是大麻屋,并接受房屋的全部现状:

The Buyer acknowledges that the use of the property and buildings and structures thereon may have been for the growth or manufacture of illegal substances and acknowledges that the Seller makes no representations and/or warranties with respect to the state of repair of the premises and the Buyer accepts the property and the buildings and structures thereon in their present state and in an “as is” condition.

卖家确保在拥有该房屋期间,房屋内没有非法种植大麻:


The Seller represents and warrants that during the time the Seller has owned the property, the use of the property and the buildings and structures thereon has not been for the growth or manufacture of any illegal substances, and that to the best of the Seller’s knowledge and belief, the use of the property and the buildings and structures thereon has never been for the growth or manufacture of illegal substances. This warranty shall survive and not merge on the completion of this transaction.
