Hello, I love the podcast Normal Gossip and I'm looking for something similar in French! If you're not familiar with it, first, go and listen, but it's a podcast where people send in anonymous gossip which is read/commented on by the host and a guest. Anything like this would great! Also taking a moment to complain about the post language requirement of the sub lol, I'd love to have posted this in French.
Applying for a visa rn nevermind everything going on in the states
Basically, I used to rent a place that developed a cockroach infestation, and very little was done to try and stop it, so I moved out.
Cut to a year later, I see the house is for sale, and out of interest, I check out the listing. There is no disclosure of a former cockroach infestation. This definitely piqued my interest because my landlords definitely seem like the type to try and hide that. I contacted the realtor (fake name, different email) and asked if there were previous bedbug, cockroach or termite infestations, and they get back saying no, the sellers said that was never an issue.
Is this illegal/can I report it? I don't want the next owners getting screwed over when they find out they immediately have to deal with roaches
It's a common story, but I had terrible landlords at my last location. They would show up unannounced, didn't fix anything/call to get it fixed, but the biggest problem was when we got a cockroach infestation. Personally I did my part to keep things clean and not leave food out, though I'll admit my roommates, while not slobs, weren't perfect. The landlord did not hire an exterminator, just made two half hearted attempts by spraying in our kitchen. Surprise surprise this did nothing, and I left ASAP.
Cut to today, I see that the property is up for sale. They are selling at an insane price and have no disclosure about a previous roach infestation. Just for fun, I emailed the realtor (has this property had problems with bed bugs, termites or cockroaches) on a burner, and they say the seller said they had no prior problem with any pests - a straight lie.
Is there any way I can get them in trouble for this? I don't want them making off with a huge sum of money and potentially screw over new owners if the roaches are still around. Fyi I am in Canada
