A seller listed her home with a local brokerage firm. the seller tells the broker that a recent death on the property was due to natural causes, when in fact her nephew died because he was electrocuted by faulty wiring. who is potentially liable for a civil suit under the dtpa if the broker does not disclose the death to a potential buyer?

Respuesta :

Under the DTPA, THE SELLER is liable to a civil suit.
This is because he withhold an important information which may cause harm  to the new owner of the house.
The broker is not liable because, he did not know about the faulty electrical wiring, he was given false information about the cause of death of one of the persons living on the property before the house was sold.
