There is no trail of a formal repair requests from her, since she never wanted to use the form I instructer her to use, all communication had been throught text messages or phone calls.

However, since the tenants are so willing to share their correspondence with the seller with us we may be entitled to be compensated for our time fixing the hidden issues.Stay tuned!
