Legal Question in Mediation in Florida

Mediation after sale of property

The buyer of my condo,says that the next day after moving in, the A/C didnot work and had to replace it and is threatening mediation if I don't reemburse her, cause I must have known. The inspection didn't say anything and her realtor even said it was working before sale. I cannot prove what she says. What is my options?

Re: Mediation after sale of property

Pay or mediate. I am not sure what you mean by "mediate." Mediation is typically a voluntary event that is non binding. Look at your contract. If it does not cover this possibility, then she would have to sue you if she really wants to go forward. It is her burden to show that you actually knew that the AC was bad and that you did not tell her. That is a tough standard. If you had it looked at a few months ago and the repair guy told you it could fail at any time, then you will probably lose. If it had not been serviced for a while and wasn't causing probelms for you, then you probably win.
