Rat Infestation Not Disclosed

[Lisa Marie]

I purchased an old home to flip via the MLS with an agent. After the inspection report, nothing came back regarding rats or pests.

The day I get the house we start knocking down walls and removed the dropped ceiling (with removable tiles). What I found next is a complete nightmare - rat skulls and skeletons, thousands of rat droppings, and a wall that is completely infested with a nest! We thought these were old rat dropping dating back since the 70s, until we discovered two fat rats that were still alive and well. This clearly is DISGUSTING and a huge health hazard. These previous owners are nasty.

As we remove the dropped ceilings we also discover rat poison and traps that indicate that the owners knew about this. This wasn't disclosed to me at all so I'm very upset. What are some of my options to get this fixed and compensated for?
