Roof leaking after 9 months closed escrow.

[Daniel Jia]

thanks for any advise!

I purchased rental property on April in Soth CA, now is raining season, the tenant report the roof is leaking, the seller has house warrant insurance, but insurance does not cover roof leaking. I have to pay $850 to get someone to repair roof, 

During inspection, I notice the leaking area, I ask my agen to ask owner had any repair done, but no answer.

Now question is, should preowner response this bill, or my agen is going to response to this bill?

Thanks for any input.

sounds like you are responsible for the roof. You said it yourself that you say the leak before you bought it. You decided to close without getting an answer so you took responsibility.
