More details to this question:
We are having problems with the house. We had a Real Estate Inspector come and do a report on the house and he said he didnt find anything really work, but after it has rained and snowed the windows, door and roof licks. There was wholes in the floor when we moved it. I have tryed tell the Realtor about everything and she keeps just saying that the owner did not know what was wrong with house. I want to know what my husband and I can do about this. I would like to know what we can do about the Inspecter because he did not really do the Inspection as good as he could of done. We found out that all of the roof needs to be replaced. The owner told us that she had it done 3 years ago.You can really see the ceiling bowling where they didnt put sheet rock at.

You have listed a variety of issues regarding this residence, from the duties of disclosure of the Seller/Landlord under a Lease Option Agreement to the standards of care and possible misrepresentations of the Realtor and Inspector. You should focus your claims on three (3) areas: (1) breach of contract with the parties with whom you contracted; (2) negligence as against the parties with whom you share no contractual privity and (3) misrepresentation if you can prove that any of the foregoing parties made material misstatements to you.
