More details to this question:
I purchased a house that had mold issues in garage. Seller wrote that the problem was fixed. It is not and had gotten worse. Is there anyway I can make seller fix it correctly?

Potentially. If you had a home inspection and moisture or mold was noted then you probably don't have any way to force the seller to do anything. If they claimed the mold problem was fixed, you had an inspection and it came up empty, and they KNEW that the problem wasn't fixed, then you may have a cause of action. Real estate law is very tiled in favor of home sellers as opposed to home buyers under Ohio's doctrine of caveat emptor ("buyer beware"). In most cases, only active fraud or concealment is enough to create something you can sue over.
