I am representing myself in a civil lawsuit. Previous home owner sold me a house which he covered up defects.

Question

Previous homeowner covered up Toxic mold with sheetrock and a kitchen counter, but mold started to grow inside out. Also he never disclosed water entering into basement.

Answer 1

If you didn't get a home inspection done, you might have signed off that you waived it.  If the previous home owner did not live in the house, he has a plausible excuse for not disclosing, because he can probably claim that he didn't know about it.  You may be able to prove tha the did if you can find a plumber that might have worked on the problem that created the mold, or something like that.

Answer 2

did you get an inspection done?
