Seminole Tribe Sues Lennar Homes Over Alleged Defective Construction in Florida

Miami, FL β€” The Seminole Tribe of Florida has filed a lawsuit against Lennar Homes, claiming that hundreds of homes built on its reservations are defective and unsafe.

Lennar constructed more than 450 townhomes and single-family homes across six Seminole reservations, including a community in Hollywood. According to the tribe, the problems became apparent soon after families moved in around 2020, with issues ranging from water intrusion and mold to structural cracks, electrical failures, and air conditioning problems.

β€œAll the roofs have to come off and be replaced. Every single house of 465 has water intrusion and mold issues. The longer it goes, more water gets in there. They have electrical problems, electric failure, air conditioning issues,” said William Scherer, attorney for the Seminole Tribe.
