What are the consequences for a Contractor who violates the provisions of Chapter 12P?

The consequences for a Contractor who violates the provisions of Chapter 12P are significant. Specifically, the Contractor is subject to enforcement and penalty provisions that are clearly outlined within the chapter itself. This can include fines, suspension, or other penalties aimed at ensuring compliance with the regulations governing housing practices and contractor agreements.

This emphasis on enforcement is crucial because it ensures that contractors adhere to the ethical and legal standards set forth, promoting accountability within the industry. Such measures encourage compliance and serve to protect both the integrity of the housing market and the rights of tenants, thereby reinforcing the purpose of Chapter 12P.

In contrast, being promoted within government positions, continuing business without changes, or receiving only a written warning undermine the seriousness of the violations and would not serve to deter future infractions. Each of these alternatives fails to provide a framework for accountability, which is essential in maintaining the standards and protections intended by the legislation.
