Purchasing Property Where Seller Does Not Disclose Evictions***

[Matt N.]

Hi All,

I have a buyer who purchased a property (prior to my time) in which the seller had 4 evictions in a 16 unit building going on. None of these evictions were ever disclosed to them during the purchase. They found out the day before closing that there were several evictions going on by the tenants. I am curious if this is only an ethical dilemma or if there might be legal action that could be had. And would the results change if the buyers did not find out the day before closing? 

Thanks!

Matt
