Q: Is my landlord in breach of contract if rented me a house with an inground pool that he knew was broken and withheld it
I rented a 6 bedroom house with an inground pool, poolhouse, in law suite so that I may entertain my family for holidays, cook outs pool partyies. I 5 months Ive paid 14,000 and I still have no pool. Landlord knew pool was broke and deliberately withheld this information. It is only myself and my husband who live here. Our vision for this house was to have as much family gathering with it have a large inground pool, pool house with 2 bedrooms main home has 6 bedrooms and inlaw suite has two bedrooms. The ehome sits on the Warwick river and my agent said that I had access to the river through a dock which was also a lie. The dock belongs to a neighbor
A: A breach of he lease would depend on proof that the landlord "knew" or "was aware" that the in-ground pool was broken on the date the lease was entered into by the landlord and the tenant.
