REAL ESTATE MOLD LAWYER – MOLD IN HOME

The law in California requires the sellers of real estate to disclose any fight that would materially affect the value and desirability of the subject property. This can include, although not inclusive, facts concerning the prior damage to the property, known physical defects in the property, history of water damage, dangerous conditions. If the seller fails to disclose these facts the seller may be liable for all the damage caused by the non-disclosure. On common scenario involves prior water intrusion events at the property. The seller may correct the source of the water intrusion (i.e. plumbing leak or roofing problem cracked slab) but will not correct the consequence of the problems. To save money in a competitive real estate market the seller may paint over water damaged drywall or simply dry out water damaged areas. This is not acceptable.
