Weintraub v. Krobatsch
Citation:
64 N.J. 445, 317 A.2d 68 (1974)Facts
Mrs. Weintraub owned and occupied a six-year-old English-town home which she placed in the hands of a real estate broker for sale. The Krobatsches were interested in purchasing the home, examined it and found it suitable. On August 25, 1971, prior to closing, the purchasers entered the house, then unoccupied, and as they turned the lights on, they were astonished to see roaches running in all directions. On the following day, they consulted an exterminator who asserted that the presence of vermin in such great quantity rendered the house as unfit for human habitation at this time. The purchasers sought to rescind the contract, but Mrs. Weintraub rejected the rescission by the purchasers and filed an action, seeking damages for breach of the contract.
