Open Question: Do I need an a/c return for the downstairs?
I am getting ready to purchase a new home in Savannah, GA (very hot and humid). The house has
(2) 2 ton a/c units, one for the upstairs and one for the downstairs. While the inspector was there, he pointed out that each return for the units were located upstairs. This means there are 2 returns almost side by side upstairs, and no return downstairs. Is this something I should be concerned about? Is it going to make my power bill outrageous? Is it going to greatly shorten the lifespan of the downstairs unit? Any info would help! Thanks in advance….Kyle
Are there any returns downstairs?
there should be two thermostats if they are seperate units.
Are there two furnaces/blowers? Is this a newer or older house that was retrofited or added on to?

There are no returns downstairs. The house is brand new, so there is no previous owner to ask. There are 2 seperate thermostats and 2 furnaces. I am in a very hot climate, and realize that heat does rise, but I am afraid that this is a poor design…

Open Question: Whose responsiblity is it to put on a new roof?
We just made an offer on a house, based on the home inspection. The bank is going to have an appraisal before they lend us the money. Well. today the home inspector told us the roof is shot and needs to be replaced. Is it our responsibility to put a new roof on or should seller fix it before we take possession of the house? How does this work? The mortgage broker told me they will not loan on a house that needs a new roof. Any thoughts ?

Voting Question: Can I break my lease?
I live in north carolina and have been renting a trailer for the past four months with my gf.

We initially did a walk through and noticed slight mold in the bath room, kitchen and bedroom. We also noticed a few outlets in the kitchen were exposed and non functional .We noted this on the property management’s damage inspection sheet. We were assured it would be looked into. Sounded good to us so we signed the lease.

It is now 4 months later and they have finally started to fix the issue after the problem got worse and we wouldn’t leave them alone about it.

They have since found massive water leakss due to roof damage. This is the cause of the mold and the exposed sockets, the structure has serious issues. I came home from work to find the contractors trying to clean the wall with water/bleach mix, I ask them if they were certified to remove this mold, they were not. The mold covered the ENTIRE wall on the interior.

I brought this up to the property management people and requested they get the mold tested to see if it was dangerous and to have itprofessionallyy removed. They flat out refused at 1st. I mentioned to them that if I had too I would cal the department of health and a building inspector.

They now said the owner will have to approve ordisapprovee to get it tested and then get a professional mold remediation company to fix it.

It’s been a few days now, we aren’t living in the apartment since there aremultiplee exposed walls with mold exposed and it is uninhabitable.

well suprise, suprise the owner’s don’t want to pay for it.

This has been going on for months and I’m just basically sick of it. I’ve been thinking of just taking the owners to court and suing for a full deposit and move out expenses so we can find a new place to live. Would this be feasible? They have offered to let us out of the lease if we submit a notice 30 days in advance and pay another month of rent and they may deduct from the security deposit.
