If they remedied that by paying, you would need to issue a new one for the next instance.I had similar tenants so I suggest getting them out ASAP.

The lead paint issue is probably just a smoke screen, and shouldn't affect a new buyer that much, unless you have local remediation/removal requirements.

I guess we probably should send out colleuage requests more to remedy that.

Even if you knew seller was not going to show you create a history of being there and telling the judge you were ready to uphold your end of the transaction but the seller was not when seeking damages.Your remedies for breach by either party will be specifically laid out in your contract you signed.

I would think that mold would be excluded, as it wouldn't be a "sudden" event, and it would be your responsibility to dry up/remediate any water issues.  

Other than perhaps the time needed to remedy, or maybe special assistance.

I don't see that the escrow money is non-refundable but I guess it is not explicitly refundable.If you are a retail buyer, you want to be able to perform a full inspection, not just termites, etc, and you want to be able to get out of the agreement with your ernest money if the seller declines to remedy any significant issues.That said, it has been a long time since I bought a house and the purchase agreement was contingent on an inspection.

So, that's a long time for the place to sit vacant, no utilities and no remediation let alone fixing it (sale is "as-is" of course).Our options:1.

But I think it would take a coil cleaning, coil replacement and/or new ducts to truly remedy the problem because when the system turns on after having been off for an hour or so it blows air with a subtle hint of stale tobacco smoke.

Mold, foundation issues, and fire damage are the most costly fixes I've encountered in house hunting, but all can be remediated at a price.
