Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana

Hi, we are in the process of buying a home. The seller stated on the disclosure statement that she owned the water softner and that it was in good working order. Now we are close to our closing and discovered that the water softner is rented. Do we have recourse to get her to pay for a softner? We still want the house but feel she needs to be held accountable for lying.
