Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

contract question

I sold my home 7 months ago and used a generic contract. The new owners advised me the septic tank is not working and requires repair. Prior to selling the home their lender required a septic inspection which passed. Also the contract stated the home was being sold as is. Am I responsible for any repairs? Thanks

Re: contract question

If you did not know of the problem, you would not be responsible......unless your contract says differently.
