Date: July 25^th, 2014

Contact: Greg Pallesen AWPPW Vice President 503-228-7486

Where and When: Model Homes in these Quadrant Homes developments

What: Informational leafleting telling potential homebuyers to "read the fine print" in the Quadrant Homes purchase and sale agreement. The leaflet's heading tells it all: "QUADRANT HOMES: MOLD IS YOUR PROBLEM!" Quadrant has been sued for alleged mold infestations. Its current purchase and sale agreement takes care of any mold problem by shifting it to the buyer—no matter what causes the mold or what damage results.

Who: Representatives of the Association of Western Pulp & Paper Workers

Visuals: Customers shocked when they learn about the risks of buying a Quadrant Home. Salespeople unhappy that the customers are being told about the "fine print" –especially because Quadrant does not stand by the representations its sales people make to innocent people looking for a home.
