Which of the following is NOT a requirement for a home-improvement contract?

Total cost breakdown
Appropriate start and finish dates
Signatures from both parties
Currency conversion terms

The correct answer is: Currency conversion terms

The requirement for a home-improvement contract is to include specific elements that protect both the contractor and the homeowner. Among these, a total cost breakdown is essential because it provides a clear understanding of how the total project cost is distributed across different phases and materials, ensuring transparency. Appropriate start and finish dates are crucial as they set expectations for the project timeline and help avoid disputes regarding delays. Signatures from both parties serve as evidence of mutual agreement and commitment to the contract terms. In contrast, currency conversion terms are not typically a requirement for home-improvement contracts, particularly within California, which primarily deals with transactions in U.S. dollars. Most contracts will use the local currency and will not require conversion terms unless specifically necessary for international transactions, which are uncommon in residential construction within the state. Thus, D correctly identifies an element that is not a standard requirement in home-improvement contracts.
