Stechschulte v. Jennings
Kansas Supreme Court
298 P.3d 1083 (2013)
- Written by Angela Patrick, JD
Facts
A. Drue Jennings (defendant) hired several professionals to repair leaks in his home’s roof and windows that had caused significant water damage. A few years later, Jennings listed the home for sale. Jennings completed and signed a seller’s-disclosure form. This form stated that the seller was disclosing all known defects that could materially affect the home’s value. In one place, the disclosure form asked about water leakage or dampness and whether there had been any repairs or attempts to control water leakage or dampness. Jennings answered no to those questions. However, in a different place on the form, Jennings stated that several windows had leaked after construction and had been fully repaired.
