Not to sound rude but you should've done research before buying

That's failure to disclose. You should see a lawyer about that. You might be able to get out of there without having to sell or lose a lot of money.

This just reminds me of the McDonalds lawsuit of the woman suing for her crotch being burned by the coffee..

#33, Firstly, I don't see how this FML is in any way reminiscent of that lawsuit. Secondly, in the case of that particular woman, the coffee was actually quite a bit hotter than health and safety laws permitted, which is why she was able to sue.

if you went through a realtor they are required to disclose these type of things. if there's nothing in your contact about it, I'd contact a lawyer ASAP

Their Realtor is only responsible for disclosing what they know. If the Realtor didn't know either, it falls on the previous homeowner. Your Title Policy should cover non-disclosures if you have the right type of policy.

#44, me, too. I was disappointed when I learned that Love Canal was a town and not a ******.

Am I the only one who accidentally read "horse" instead of "house"? I was so confused.
