Default Rules on Asbestos

well heres a little detail that could come back to bite the property
owner bad

So they do a DIY asbestos tile removal, when the home is up for sale
the law requires they disclose this and what they did,,,,,

now say you dont disclose the asbestos tile removal and anyone knows
you did it, and tells the new owner. the new owner can bring a lawsuit
and take the $$$ out of your account even years later...

they would demand a pro clean up, and environmental tests, imagine if
you happen to live in a asbestos prone area....... they could demand
the home must be cleaner than the outside

A close by neighbor failed to disclose their bad sewer line, the new
owner had a flooded basement, found out about the cover up, and won
15 grand in sewer line replacement plus court costs....

disclosing is the best way to go
