He states he can't rent or sell property due to smoke smell..I doubt that.the house was built in 1951.there are numerous cracks in ceiling from house settling, wood floors need redone plus two round stains from kerosene heaters from last tenants,the bathroom is original pink tiles, kitchen cupboards falling off walls,leaking roof,leaked prior in spare room was patched and never painted, the whole house is a fixed upper.I think he's trying to pass the buck onto me so he can repair to sell, not due to smoke smell.Can I take him to court for my refund or will be win.I live in virginia

Do you really want to sit there experiment with KPIs, having 15 different phone numbers to track which mailers, the yellow, pink blue orange, which doodle, the star or doodle of a man, performed better?
