Toilets and Texas Real Estate Law?

On March 18, 2009 / By Real Estate Law Help / In Texas-Real-Estate-Law

Hi, I’m buying a condo in Texas. The toilet is broken and the little old lady said she’s not fixing it….By law, can she pull this over on me or am I stuck fixing a toilet? The contract was drawn up, but it was a rough draft (I think) Should I play hardball with her or just have it fixed myself? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

« real estate law, If you cancel a contract on a house, wood the party that sold the house to you ?
What’s difference between a ‘Statutory Warranty Deed’ and just a ‘Warranty Deed’? ? »

    She can get away with it, your best bet is tell her to get it fixed or give you a $250 toilet allowance at the closing. The only thing specified by law that is a bit odd is that there must be a cooking surface {Ie range top}.

    look you can replace the whole thing wax ring up for less than $150 and she does not have to fix any thing you can buy as is or not at all

    If you signed a sales contract, it’s probably a done deal unless it contains a stipulation about all systems having to be in proper working condition. I hope you have a realtor; he or she can take care of this for you.
