Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Hi, My store is located in a commercial 4 block area, as soon I moved in next door the walking pavement was blocked in front of 5 adjacent stores, (not owned by my landlord) for demolition and construction of a new building, the broker knew it and told me so after I moved in, and now there is no or, just minimum pedestrian walking in front of my store, which that pedestrian walking was a strong selling point for this property, do I have any rights? is this fradulent inducement? can he claim "I should have known, because I should have serached the public records" ? which i had no clue off!, can i sue him for my investment in the rents and of tort ? please reply. thank you

If the broker and seller knew of the anticipated construction and failed to disclose it, yes. The issue will be proving damages.
