Re: septic tank
There may be liability to the seller if the home was owner occupied, the problem was known and the problem was not disclosed on the Residential Property Condition Disclosure as is required. See generally Tennessee Code Annotated section 66-5-204 which can be found in the Internet at: http://michie.lexisnexis.com/tennessee/lpext.dll?f=templates&fn=main-h.htm&cp=
