Which of the following is not a requirement for receiving a home warranty?

Receiving a home warranty does not require that the buyer must purchase it. While buyers often opt to purchase a home warranty for additional protection, many warranties can also be provided as part of a sales agreement by the builder or seller. In some cases, they may be included in the purchase price or provided as an incentive to the buyer, rather than being a direct purchase by the buyer themselves.

By contrast, it is typical for builders to provide warranties as a part of the new home construction process, and these warranties usually include coverage for structural damages. Additionally, a home warranty may need to be specified in the sales contract to ensure that both parties are aware of the coverage and its terms. Thus, the assumption that a buyer must personally purchase the warranty is not a universal requirement and highlights why this option is not correct.
