In California, a seller is required to disclose all known material facts about the property being sold. Failure to disclose known defects, problems, or other significant issues related to the property can be considered a lie or fraudulent misrepresentation. This includes actively concealing or intentionally omitting important information that could influence a buyer’s decision.

If a seller is found to have intentionally lied or misrepresented material facts about the property, they can be held liable for damages. This may include rescission of the contract (canceling the sale), monetary damages for repair costs or diminished property value, and potentially punitive damages if the lie was particularly egregious. The seller may also face civil or criminal fraud charges in severe cases.

Sellers in California are required to disclose any known material defects or issues with the property, including structural problems, pest infestations, water damage, hazardous materials, legal issues (like code violations or unpermitted work), and any other significant factors that could impact the property’s value or desirability. They must also disclose any known neighborhood nuisances or issues.

To prove that a seller lied, the buyer typically needs to provide evidence that the seller had actual knowledge of the undisclosed fact(s) and intentionally failed to disclose it. This can include documentation, expert testimony, or witness statements. Additionally, the undisclosed fact must be considered material, meaning it would have influenced a reasonable buyer’s decision to purchase the property.

If a buyer suspects a seller lied or failed to disclose material information, they should immediately consult with a real estate attorney. The attorney can review the case, gather evidence, and advise on potential legal remedies, such as filing a lawsuit for damages, rescinding the contract, or reporting the seller to relevant authorities. Time is often of the essence, as there are statutes of limitations for various claims.

In some cases, a buyer may be able to hold the seller’s real estate agent liable if the agent had knowledge of the seller’s lie or material defect but failed to disclose it. Real estate agents have a duty to conduct reasonable inspections and disclose known defects to potential buyers. If an agent actively participated in or facilitated the seller’s misrepresentation, the buyer may have grounds to sue the agent for negligence or breach of fiduciary duty.
