j***n 发帖数: 58 | 1 水费是从六月份到九月份,房子是8月份close的。close的时候双方律师对水费单根据
历史水费单做了调整,当时就问了为了什么要做调整,被告知都是这么做的。卖家给了
100多块,作为六月到九月的水费。
这个月初,打电话给dep说要注册帐户,才知道上一季度水费是800多块,仔细询问后发
现仅7月份12天就650块。DEP说没有任何人打电话 request final read,所以现在帐单
需要买家付,还提到一般close时卖主或者买主会要求把帐单分开。
第一时间给close的律师打电话了,人家说纽约市都是按历史调整的,他30多年来都是
这么做的。我们要求他给对方律师发信说这个事情,他说他不管close后的事情,如果
要他involve的话,需要给他支付200块。
我们认为律师没有做好他的due deligence, 才会有现在的状况。
我们没有原屋主的联系方式,中介不给,中介也不希望involve,就说这事应该双方律
师处理。
请问房子close时都是对水费做调整的吗?如果卖主不愿意支付,我们去小额法庭的话
,有机会赢吗?律师在close方面有失职吗?
多谢啦! | w******p 发帖数: 166 | 2 it's unusual to have such a large water bill, i always have sth around $200.
yes the water charge is estimated by the lawyers based on previous usage.
the bank lawyer and the buyer/seller lawyers should have verified on the
numbers at closing day.
DEP would advise a final read but the seller would need to pay sth. like $
125 for them to produce the final read, in NY they say water bill is always
associated with the house, so there's no reason for a seller to want to pay
for it.
DEP website has the daily water usage log, it might help if you want to
bring it up with the seller. | j***n 发帖数: 58 | 3 谢谢你的回复!
这两天给DEP打了不少电话。DEP说只要给他们打个电话就能够把水费单分开。纽约市很
多水表都是远程操控,所以只要dep上班,就可以读表。DEP的每个接电话的工作人员都
说律师没有处理好,而且还强调是close之前发生的事情,我们连appeal,dep都不会管
,因为当时我们根本不住里面,也没法说到底发生了什么。
200.
always
pay
