A Regina-based homebuilding company is suing one of its former clients for displaying a sign near its properties which the couple says is an attempt to push forward a lawsuit they filed against the business.

On a few occasions since the spring, Bradford and Sharon Lenz have parked their truck near Crawford Homes’ office, show homes and around Regina with a sign that reads “Buyer beware had our dream house built by Crawford turned into a nightmare,” a statement of claim filed earlier this month reads.

The claim says the sign is innuendo for “if you hire Crawford to build your house for you, you will regret it.” It says the words and their implied meaning are “false” and “maliciously published by the defendants.”

A statement of claim contains allegations not yet proven in court. A statement of defence has not been filed.

The claim further says the company has been the subject of “ridicule, hatred and contempt and has suffered damages to its reputation” because of the sign.
