How would one determine if the damage was caused by him or there when they moved in? They have been in the house 1.5 years - I don’t think it was there when they moved in. 

I have a property manager who takes care of the day-to-day. She asked me how I would like to handle this. 

I had the floors in my rental replaced less than 5 years ago. My tenant recently submitted a maintenance request for a small area by the fridge where the floor is warping and said small droplets of water were in between the floors. 

He attached a picture that seems fine in my opinion - my property manager got feedback from a handyman who said there’s no repair option, if truly warped you have to replace the floors. 

Any feedback? Am I obligated to fix this since it is cosmetic? 

To add on..... I'm pretty frustrated with the seller to begin with. They had a list of repairs they agreed to and neglected to complete. They ended up paying me cash at closing to compensate after having to negotiate for this, but it likely will not cover all they agreed to fix. I know this is my fault, but contractually since it was stated they were to fix the vent up to code could I not go back with that at this time? 

I working on getting an estimate on these items now. However, homeowners' warranty won't cover it unless its a leak since it involves rerouting they can not cover they say.

I just bought and closed on a property that was flipped and I had Piedmont come out today to turn on the gas however they told me they couldn’t because the equipment in my house is not up to code (attached list of what needs to be done).

Post inspection one of the items on the list to be repaired was the water heater vent pipe. It was originally routed into the chimney and now is routed out of the house. However, it wasn’t done correctly according to Piedmont.

The second issue with the central heat was not caught at all during the inspection, and peidmont says as is it would be releasing carbon monoxide into my house if he turned it on. The central heat was turned on up until a week ago when I closed.

As is, I’m not able to live there since I do not have heat. Is this something I should speak to a lawyer about? Is it worth going back to the inspector? I purchased a home warranty, but not for sure it would cover anything like this.
