Best of Legal Hotline
Portable Hot Tub - a Fixture?

By James L. Goldsmith, Esq.

 

I am astounded by what I have learned from REALTORS®!  Yesterday's lesson, provided by a Hotline caller, was that some hot tubs are portable!  I always presumed they were delivered to the site in a box and to that extent were "portable."  But I always assumed that hot tubs were then "permanently installed" in some fashion.  But a Google search of "portable hot tubs" illuminated my ignorance on the subject.  Did you know that for less than $500 you can buy a four-person portable, inflatable hot tub?  Or, you can go deluxe with the Super Tuscany 6-Person Portable Spa with plastic wood spa frame from M-Spa.  Click here to read more. 

REALTOR® Safety Alert
A member called to report that this past Sunday, June 15, a suspicious individual attended an open house in Doylestown. The individual was a male, late 50's, balding and with glasses. He was extremely hyper, pretending to be on his phone, while running upstairs to the Bathroom and opening the medicine chest and then next running to the kitchen to open  cabinets and then leaving quickly.  He left false contact information on the sign-in sheet. This is a reminder to all of our members to exercise extreme caution when conducting an open house.  Click here to read NAR's REALTOR Safety information.
