burst water line in vacant home
Posted: Fri Feb 27, 2004 6:33 pm
We've been trying to sell our 1999 DW home in a park in Colorado for 2 years - all this time the house has been vacant. We finally have a buyer - doing a short sale - getting to the end - and I get a phone call today from the park. "Do you want us to fix the water pipes?"
We had no idea the place was still hooked up to water - the park has no explanation why it was - and the best part is the waterline broke 3 weeks ago and they are only just getting around to calling us. Only good thing is that it's only external damage.
My question is what recourse do I have? Are they responsible at all? Will my insurance even look at this? The park has offered to fix it for $300. Is this reasonable?
Thanks for any thoughts - cjbug
