Client bought a house (not my deal) over the summer. During an inspection, it was found there was Aspergillus mold present. An agreement was written to give the buyer a credit at closing.
One day before closing the seller also remediated a broken AC and the deal closed.
6 months later the bother of my client died unexpectedly. The air was tested again and now there is another type of mold/fungus (basidiospore) which is a toxic spore and my client suspects is the cause of her brother’s death. The mold remediation company cannot find the source of the new mold and therefore cannot remove it. The levels inside the house are about 50-100x as what is outside.
So, I have no clue what to do in this situation. It may have been festering in the broken AC, but my client does not have the money to replace the AC on a whim. I don’t think that we have a way, if we get a lawyer involved to prove negligence and seek damages from the original seller. (Arizona). They want about $10k to get involved.
Experts have told her to vacate the property since the spores are now creating a health problem for her.
If we do list it as it is, how should we disclose the problem since experts cannot find a source and only know that it exists.
Any help appreciated!
