My agent wrote an addendum asking the seller to clean the HVAC system and air ducts due to the strong smell of smoke and marijuana left by the tenant. The day before closing, my agent and I went to check the cleaning progress. When we arrived, the seller was there spraying a Dollar Tree air freshener with a strong bleach scent around the house. He claimed to have cleaned the air ducts. I mentioned that I could still smell smoke beneath the bleach and spray odor. Both the seller and my agent insisted it was just a citrus smell. I told them I might cancel the contract because of it, but they reassured me not to worry.
The evening of the closing, I returned to the house. As soon as I opened the door, I noticed the strong smoke smell again. Upon inspection, the house was still very dirty, with yellow residue on the windows and blinds. It smelled awful. My agent promised the seller would fix the issues, but nothing was done, and I feel like he lied.
When I told my agent I wanted to cancel the contract because the smoking smell was still there, she told me I would definitely lose my $5,000 house deposit, even though we signed an addendum requiring the seller to fix the problem. Now, she has introduced a contractor to repaint the house and replace the carpets, with an estimate of $10,000. Should I trust her contractor?
I had a few showings today in a beautiful community in a small town in Ontario, and one of the homes I passed by on the way had grass driveways?
Has anyone ever seen this or am I going insane?🤣
And why do I not hate it?
