Illegal duplex help

Diego Saavedra
Posted

Hello friends.

New investor.

Bought a property in 2022 that was advertised as a duplex. There was a tenant living on one side and the other was vacant.

After living and remodeling the vacant side, I moved into the tenant occupied side (he moved out) to start the remodel process there.

After looking into permits to upgrade the electrical system, I ran across information about the property that revealed it to be a single family home.

The zoning for the property does not allow for multi families.

Am I able to sue the seller or the seller’s agent for misleading information/false advertising?

Any help is appreciated 🙏🏽

In DeKalb county.
