However, I would generally say that any major defect that was not disclosed or found during the inspection period, it is reasonable to request remedies.

I remember many years back when I was signing a rental lease; the landlord had a sheet where I noted the all the defects that already existed on the property like scratches on the kitchen cabinets, door slightly chipped etc.

None of these posts have mentioned the fact that there are multiple issues involved: what are your rights as a bonafide purchaser for value, did you have constructive notice of the fraud or defective title because of the presence of the previous owners in the property, what effect does a potential fraud have on the title, and many other questions involved in this situation.Talk to an attorney in your area who has handled these kinds of situations before; there are many contract, fraud, and real estate litigation issues here.  

And if you have already promised and signed off a new lease with a move in date of that same day, you paint yourself into a corner unless the new tenant accepts those pre-existing defects in order to move in early.

And without seeing the report myself there's no way for me to say whether he noted it as a minor concern or major concern or Potentially Hazardous.But here is a blog post that is picture heavy about new construction defects (also projects that are permitted and inspected by the cities)http://www.startribune.com/photos-from-new-constru...A lot of the pictures are nit-picky (our job!)

Most of them simply have mental defects.

On bulk. clearance, or items with defects, asking an associate to give an additional discount has worked out well for me so far.

We've never had a machine fail inside the 5-year window, unless it failed in the first 6-months due to a manufacturing defect ... in which case it is covered under warranty (which is 24 months on the units we purchased).In short, the extra rent and the ease of filling units (before the become vacant) more than offsets any increase in water consumption.

This makes sense, as it would not make financial sense for them to fully inspect your property for all potential defects.  

It's a bit flimsier, but if there's a section in your contract that says they will notify you of any defects on the property, including dangerous conditions, and they didn't, then maybe you could at least claim that they were partly negligible.While it's true that dog bites are usually presumed to be guilty, and many lawyers actually specialize in just dog bites because of that, there is also something called the "one bite rule."
