Lennar Home Communities is involved in both sides of the Chinese drywall scandal. It is both a plaintiff and a defendant in litigation that has been filed as a result of toxic Chinese drywall that was installed in new residential construction built by Lennar Home Communities.
About Lennar Home Communities
Lennar Corporation operates in 17 states and specializes in new residential construction. The company was founded in 1954 and is headquartered in Miami, Florida. It builds homes in all types of communities including cities, suburban communities and planned communities.
Lennar as a Defendant
The Associated Press reports that Lennar has been named as a defendant in a federal class action lawsuit brought by plaintiffs who bought homes from Lennar that had toxic Chinese drywall installed. The plaintiffs allege that the drywall in their homes emit sulfur and other potentially dangerous and odorous fumes. Lennar admits that it used drywall from China in these homes during 2005 – 2006. Lennar claims that it has been inspecting homes built with Chinese drywall, replacing the drywall and fixing or replacing any alleged damage caused by the drywall.
Other lawsuits have also been filed against Lennar in other jurisdictions and more are likely to follow as more homeowners suffer from the fumes emitted from the drywall in their homes.
Lennar as a Plaintiff
In addition to defending itself in the Chinese drywall scandal, Lennar is also a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the Chinese provider of the drywall. NBC News reports that Lennar filed a lawsuit against Knauf, Taishan Gypsum and other companies alleging that, among other things, the companies were negligent and provided Lennar with defective products. The lawsuit was filed in Florida in February 2009 and is still pending.
As homeowners look to rectify the toxic Chinese drywall present in their homes, they understandably look to their home builder, Lennar, for remedies so that they can live in safe homes. At the same time Lennar looks to its suppliers for answers to this difficult situation.
