Mirasol Homeowner Belonging Held Hostage
http://www.ksat.com/news/16262254/detail.html

This recent display of immoral behavior is common.  This time KB got caught and was exposed.

KB Home has a pattern of this kind of bullying behavior.   As a matter of warranty policy KB requires homeowners sign a full release and has even been known to routinely require homeowners to sign a non-disclosure agreement to get basic warranty repairs completed.

Example, during a walkthrough a buy noted the carpet was defective which KB agreed to replace if they closed on the home that day.  After three months of constant pleading and begging KB finally agreed to replace the carpet if the owner agreed to sign a non-disclosure to not tell anyone, especially their neighbors or the news media, etc.

Of course the owners agreed, their carpet was replaced and the story never made the news.

When it happens to you, it doesn't really matter how many good houses are out there, now does it?
