What is the name of your state? Georgia
Long story short, We have built a home that has passed every inspection along the way. We are now at the end of construction, and have been told that because of the way we built the house on the lot, the developer is having a hard time selling the lot next door. We are completely within the bulding codes on our home, and the county has been unable to show where we are not, but they refuse to give us a certificate of occupancy until we saatisfy the developers requests, which will cost us thousands of dollars. We are living in the home, they previously gave us a verbal C/O, which they are now trying to revoke. Several of the county insopectors have said outuloud that if we just buy the adjacent lot, this would all go away. The developers right hand man told us yesterday that if we would agree to grade and clear that lot, he would call the county and get our C/O rfeleased. This developer is a huge big deal in my area, and apparantley has all of the say in what the conuty approves and doesn't. Surely this is illegal.

**A: time to hire a real estate attorney. This week would be good.

what type of law is this

I know I need a Real Estate Attorney, but what type of law is this? Am I right in that the inspectors office should have no concern about the happiness of a particular person, if no codes have been broken? We have combed the codes, and have found nothing that they can say we are in violation of, and they have not been able to come up with one either. They openly acknowldeg that they are just waiting on the developer to call them and give them the o.k to give us a c/o. They have actually already completed a final inspection, yet deny it now, and had no issues for us to resolve to get the c/o. This is like a really bad movie.
