QUESTION
Who is responsible for the damage to my house?
Asked on Aug 06th, 2021 on Residential Real Estate - Michigan
More details to this question:
We bought a new house, and gave the guy 60 days to move out after closing. On the 60th day, we gained possession. Upon entering, the barn is covered in mold. $13.5k worth of damage. We were never alerted to the site, otherwise we would have handled it immediately. The seller refuses to pay for the damage. Help :(

Depending on what the contract for sale says, you may have a cause of action against the Seller.
Do you know when the mold happened? Did you inspect the property and not see it? Did you hire a property inspector to inspect the property prior to purchase?
Typically, unless the contract of sale says otherwise the seller is responsible for damage to the property after sale.
