A seller wants to fix a leaky roof before listing the property with a firm. The seller does not want to spend any money on the repairs and hires a local high school student who took a woodworking class in high school to fix the roof. The seller does not mention anything about the roof to the listing licensee. A buyer submits an offer, which the seller accepts. After the transaction closes, the roof leaks and damages a hardwood floor the buyer installed. Which party could be liable to the buyer for damages

The seller would be at fault here. Their cheapness caused them to hire someone in high school who hasn't even gone to trade school. This is illegal. Afterwards, he lied to the listing licensee and buyer. Because of this lie, the hardwood floor was damaged as well as the roof.

The seller is now liable for lawsuits and suing.

Hope this helps! :D
