Can I cancel a pre-construction apartment contract in Santo Domingo if the developer missed deadlines?
Lawyer Answers

Here’s a short, clear, professional reply that hits exactly what you need:
It depends. Your rights to cancel and recover payments will turn on the specific terms of your purchase contract and whether the developer is in material breach.
Key factors include:
• what the contract says about delivery deadlines and extensions
• whether delays are justified or simply unilateral
• any clauses on refunds, penalties, or rescission
• proof of all payments, amendments, and communications
• whether the developer failed to meet permits, construction milestones, or obligations
You should gather your purchase contract, payment receipts, the reservation agreement, any addenda, and all written communications about delays. These documents determine your legal options and the strength of a cancellation or refund claim.
