What is the name of your state? Maine
Hello,
Thank you for any input available on this.
We have lived in our house for almost two years now. When we decided to buy the house we put into the buyer/seller contract that the previous owner was to do a couple of tasks previous to the sale. One of these was to remove a dog feces receptacle that they had buried in the back yard. The lid was visible at the time. In the contract it states that they would dig the receptacle out, remove it completely, and the fill in the hole. They did not do this. In fact, the made it look as if they did by pushing the lid into the receptacle, covering it with dirt and the planting grass on the top of it. They knowingly deceived us. We went to dig up the area to put in a vegetable garden, as it is the only suitable place in the yard, and found the thing. We have contacted the real estate company, they initially denied that it was possible that the contract was breached. We then sent pictures of the removal of the can of feces, and they evidently told the previous owner. He stated that he will be doing nothing to help us dispose of the 50 gallon receptacle full of feces.
Do we have any rights in this matter? We simply want the stuff gone, but do not feel it is our financial burden to bare.
Thank you in advance for any information you can provide
