I was wondering if it was due to the gutter work and/or any other defects it may have.

Somebody wanting to sue for you backing out of a bad deal or accusing you of selling them a property with defects like unknown termite damage).

I'd heard previously from my neighbors that they'd had the same problem.When I bought the home, the builder had given a 2/10 warranty which covered the any defects in the foundation for 10 years.

we have an accepted offer for a fl condo, it's an as-is contract which allows us to recover our deposit if the seller won't repair a defect.

Violations CN104015 : replace broken, missing or defective window panes (13-196-550 A)CN131026 : repair or replace defective screen.(13-196-560 B) CN190019 : Arrange for inspection of premises. (13-12-100) Most apartments-no response,unverified detector,and conditions.

If the inspection turns up any unapparent defects you modify your offer accordingly.

In the absolute extreme, if the contact is found to be so defective that it is not considered to be in effect, the landlord might owe back rent to the tenant.

Disclosures are required for latent defects.

What is the timeframe in which the landlord has to respond to notification of any defects or needed repairs, requests on the property?

Arc related fires and carbon monoxide poisoning are probably the most common risks, and the fact that this guy could be getting used and/or defective parts only increases the risk.I can actually live in the house, while the work is being done if need be, that isn't a problem.
