Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan

There is typically a six year statute of limitations on certain claims against residential builders but Michigan has the Discovery Rule which can toll this time period. This means if the defect was hidden the Statute of Limitations does not start to run until the defect is actually discovered. If the claims are not time barred then you can sue for breach of contract, breach of implied warranty of habitability, negligence and possibly violation of the consumer protection act, whcih would give you attorney fees. As for the Township, they have governmental immunity and can only be sued for gross negligence which is unlikely.
