Thanks for the responses.The HOA is refusing to get involved, saying it's a "neighbor to neighbor dispute".The police are called when it gets really bad, but they say they can't do anything either.

That means that if a dispute arises later you will have to see what the previous LL lease said about that issue.

If there is no dispute as to the seller's obligations, you could have funds held in escrow from the closing, or simply credited to you at closing and you fix them, as long as you can agree on price.

However, if you ever end up in a dispute headed for a judge, or admin hearing, the fact that you didn't disclose, which Should indicate a superior knowledge on your part, certainly won't help your fate in the eyes of whoever is deciding it.

I'd expect to deal with evictions, other tenant issues, disputes with contractors, tax complexity, etc., etc.Is there a reason why professional services isn't a line item in deal analyses?

Hi All,I'm hoping others have had this situation come up with a good resolution.

Buyer shall serve Notice upon Seller or Seller’s attorney of any defects disclosed by any inspection for which Buyer request resolution by the Seller, along with a copy of an pertinent section of the applicable inspection report.

So no court confirmation is required (unless one of the heirs files a dispute.)

So, the closing agent has contacted the attorney handling the foreclosure to see if we can get a resolution to this matter.

Since you did not do the inspection how do you dispute the hole in the wall was not there when they rented?
