What this covers
Disclosure cases turn on what was known, what should have been disclosed, and what industry custom expects when a broker or seller faces an information question. The work addresses both Tennessee statutory disclosure (residential) and common-law disclosure obligations.
Common case types include Tennessee Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act (TRPCDA) disputes, agent failure-to-disclose claims, material-defect and latent-defect litigation, and broker duty-to-investigate questions before listings.
