Selling Agent lying about having a tenant.

[Ben Mandelstein]

Hello Everyone,

I am fairly new to real estate investing and bigger pockets. I am in the process of buying my second property in Texas. The property is a duplex and when I first saw the property the listing agent only showed me one side but told me that the other side is rented out at $850 a month until the end of September. 

I made an offer on the house and came to agreement with the seller but then once I was under the option period(Something we have in Texas) I got an inspection. When I saw the other unit that was supposed to be "occupied" it was completely empty and showed no signs of anyone living there anytime recently. This was just a few days after the listing agent told me it was under a lease tell the end of September. 

Is there anything she did illegal or anything I should do about this? Unfortunately I never got it in writing but it seems like she was purposely deceiving me.
