When can a homeowner terminate a contract? That should be determined by the contract, but if it is not, the law in your state will govern. However, one should also use some common sense to decide when the time has come. If the contractor has stopped showing up, then he has abandoned the job, and the homeowner has the right to mitigate damages by hiring someone else to finish the work. If the contractor has failed to pull permits, or done something illegal, or blatantly in violation of the contract (substituting inferior materials, for example), the homeowner does not have to stand by and accept it.

This is due mostly to building permits being obtained in the City of Malden they took for ever, changes from the customer and added work loads from unforeseen items not contracted for. To make a long story short, we provided an estimate ( not a quote ) of tasks i.e bathroom remodeling, painting, hardwood flooring etc.
They paid us in phases as the job went along and for the extra work but when they canceled the contract after I tried to do an amendment for completion date they denied me. Customer went from the estimate ( not the contract ) sheet provided from the start and said we owed them money/refund for items started but not completed.The contract shows no cost per tasks. We spent double the labor to get this homeowner into there new home because there old place was sold.
When the homeowner & I couldn't meet on the numbers, they took over 4K in tools that we had on this project and put them in storage until we refunded them the monies they feel is due. Homeowner, was told to do this by the City of Malden PD as a way of leverage.Is this legal?
Now they have told me they contacted the DA's office saying I committed fraud. According to this homeowner the DAs office is looking into this on a criminal fraud case and say I will be arrested.
Looking for some feed back on all of this, Thanks
