m*f 发帖数: 8162 | 1 不是这样的。你当初签合同的时候就可以加上full inspection satisfactory
contingency,
这样你在inspection以后无论怎样都有一次机会退出。
你现在这样大概是你当初签合同的时候被realtor唆使加了只有在
structural problems/wood damaging insects之类的才back out的条款
这样你在下offer更加让seller容易接受。
但是后面就可能会被动。
验。 |

Unlike its shorter-legged but much larger tropical cousins, S. coleoptrata
can live its entire life inside a building, usually the ground levels of
homes. They are generally considered harmless to humans. Bites (stings) are
extremely uncommon, and the forcipules of most house centipedes are not
strong enough to penetrate human skin. Stings are generally no worse than a
bee's sting, with its venom causing redness and mild to severe swelling.

Rodents are a problem not just because they can destroy personal property
and create problems with a home's structure, but also because they can
spread serious diseases to humans and their pets. Rodent-borne disease may
be spread directly -- by touching rodents or their Rat in a PVC pipeurine,
feces or saliva -- or indirectly -- by coming into contact with fleas or
other insects that have fed on an infected rodent host. Inspectors should
