Buyer wants to attend certificate of occupancy inspection..
Comments (14)Its easy to be cavalier since its not my deal on the line but there are aspects of the contract that dictate how this is required to be handled. If its not required and it is inconvenient I would beg off by stating the moving chores and the likelyhood of a moving target as to appointment time and be done with it. If the buyer's inspection window has expired there is not a lot to be done about it. If there are repairs to be made, a limited dialog is appropriate but that should include an assurance that the municipality will reinspect that work. Were I the buyer, I'd simply use my walkthrough privilege to cover this. I'd feel comfortable with the seller's knowledge of this last minute hammer. If the inspection window has not expeired the buyer has the right to make an appointment. Appointments are usually made at times convenient for both parties....See MoreAnother request after Post Inspection report provided

Comments (6)Thats a lot, and some are very serious. Is the washing machine itself a problem, or is it a pipe that is the problem. I wouldnt worry about a broken washer, you could get a new one. Windows are very important, and they are very expensive. rot can be very expensive to repair. Mildew or mold in a bathroom, could mean a full gut job to make it usable, and mold is a health problem. 40,000 in repairs is a lot of money. You are already over asking price, so you shouldnt have to make 40,000 in repairs. The fact that they lied about the age of the water heater, would also make me wonder what else they lied about....See MoreCan a tenent refuse to let buyers in home for home inspection?
Comments (40)Just some input from someone who currently has quite a few tenants and has been dealing with unusual situations this past year. First, the Texas moratorium on detainers ends on March 31st, that only includes detainers for non-payment and so other types of evictions are allowed. However, on March 31st the flood gates are probably going to open up so be cautious depending on scheduling something after that. A forcible detainer action is expensive and the former tenants do not surrender their property. Typically some legal representative, in our area it is a Sheriff, shows up at the property and removes the tenant and waits until all their property is removed from the rental. You pay the sheriff an hourly rate here of $50 per hour and there is a time limit (here it is four hours). During that four hours you must completely clear the home of all furnishings and clothing and place them on the curb. You may not take anything that has been abandoned without a separate court hearing and order. Generally, speaking a detainer action will cost me more than two months rent as I have to pay the sheriff, the movers, and the attorney. It is almost always easier and cheaper to pay the tenants to vacate. There is currently a law that went into effect in September 2020 that allows tenants who are ill to refuse any inspection if anyone in the home is ill. It specifically notes that tenants need not have Covid and can't be compelled to provide proof of Covid for reasonable delays to inspection. The attorney who does all my detainers sent a mass mailing out to all his clients in September notifying us. I have no idea how this has since been tested in court, but I do know I wouldn't listen to the legal expertise of your realtor or theirs right now. Right now being a landlord is a crazy mess, there are state laws and conflicting Federal laws. If these tenants and all of their things are not removed from the property I wouldn't even consider closing right now. I have thirty years in the rental game and you couldn't pay me to even consider buying a house with a tenant in it right now. Good luck....See More- 6 years ago
