The suit says the plaintiff purchased a home owned by the defendant that contained Chinese drywall, which must be taken out for the house to be inhabitable. The plaintiff claims it did not know the home contained Chinese drywall and that the defendant failed to disclose this fact.
The defendant is accused of intentionally withholding information about the home that constitutes a defect that would have prevented the plaintiff from purchasing the home.
