A breach occurs when a party fails to meet a term of the contract, such as failing to close by a deadline or making required disclosures. Remedies include deposits, damages, or specific performance depending on the contract terms and California law.
Remedies can include monetary damages, specific performance, rescission, or reformation of the contract. The right remedy depends on the breach and its impact on your transaction.
