A Bad Bargain
The couple was flabbergasted at the revelation. We don’t blame them— after all, they just learned that their new house had a black mold infestation! They were expecting to turn it into a nice place for their family, but it was actually a contaminated chamber of sorts. Kerri told reporters, “The previous owner left his email address, so I got in touch with him and he said that he didn’t want the same thing to happen to him, that the mold made his children very sick.” They also sought the guidance of an environmentalist who warned them against making the move. A house full of toxins and molds was not an ideal space for any family.
A Bad Bargain
Duped!
Jason and Kerri Brown were deceived by the real estate broker they saw. They soon found out that the agent was aware of the problem but decided to keep quiet about the accompanying health hazards. The broker showed them around and pretended that everything was fine. It was a good thing that the former homeowner had the presence of mind to leave a note to the new owners. The couple eventually sued both the home loan corporation and the real estate agent. For the meantime, the couple decided to find an apartment to stay in. While the discovery was not very pleasant, it would have been a lot worse if the secret room and the hidden note was not there to inform the couple.
