It wasn’t just an issue of sanitation, but also about the integrity of the sale. If people just let those things go, it would set a bad precedent that selling homes with roughshod repairs is an acceptable practice. Anyway, I hope that the repairs have come through nicely, and that you’ve already settled in your new home.

And suddenly it was all a joke (instead of a particularly noxious kind of chicanery).<br /><br />Short story long: dealing with real estate is a horror, wherever you find yourself.
