Home Sale Water Damage

Summary

In Nebraska, responsibility for post-sale home damages, like water issues, depends on disclosure, inspection, and weather conditions. Sellers must disclose known issues, but if unaware, they might not be liable. An inspection that didnt reveal problems can support the sellers position. Unusual weather may be considered an unforeseen event. Consulting a local attorney is advisable for small claims court considerations.
