When there is a third - party lender , a home improvement contract is unenforceable against the buyer per the Contractors License Law and federal Truth in Lending Act , if:

• A. Obtaining a loan is a condition precedent to the contract, and the loan is not offered and/or accepted
• B. The loan is offered and accepted
• C. The buyer defaults
• D. The lender is not licensed

Answer: (A)

Financing contingencies matter: when a home improvement contract depends on a third‑party loan, the loan acts as a condition precedent to the agreement. That means the contract only becomes binding if the loan is actually offered and accepted. If the loan is not offered or not accepted, there is no enforceable contract against the buyer under the Contractors License Law and the Truth in Lending Act. If financing is in place (offered and accepted), the contract can be enforced. Defaults and unlicensed lenders raise separate concerns, but the key point here is that a loan not being offered or accepted prevents formation of a binding contract.
