Knowledebase Tag: Hearing-impaired Smoke Detectors
- In the case of a seller concerned about future liability issues that could arise from improper or unsatisfactory installation of hearing-impaired smoke detectors, does he have the right to refuse to negotiate an offer from a hearing-impaired buyer who will not waive his rights on the seller’s disclosure, or would this fall under fair-housing policy?
- An executed contract is in place, and the buyer had crossed out the waiver wording on the seller’s disclosure before signing. Within the 10 days, the buyer requests in writing that the seller install hearing-impaired smoke detectors. At this point, does the seller have a right to refuse? If the buyer is willing to waive his rights to require the seller to install, how should you document their agreement?
