    Pretty much hosed in commercial real-estate. We had something similar happen when we purchased a property that had a current tenant in there. The tenant got screwed over from the seller when they "verbally" agreed to re-new the lease. Then changed minds shortly to sell. All of this we knew nothing of. So the tenant being frustrated went through and took a bunch of petty things like you described, Soap dispensers, towel dispensers, spare paint to touch up current paint. The list goes on and on, but we already had the contract finalized and a closing date set when all this occurred. Took us 15 months to renovate to get move in ready.

    There has to be legal recourse in something like this. There is no way a tenant would be allowed to physically alter the building and remove parts of the permanent structure after a sale.
    At least in America there is rampant consumer protection against stuff like that. It's very legally clear that the seller cannot complete the sale, and then alter major elements of the house prior to the buyer moving in.
    They are allowed to take things that are not attached to the house, tvs (but not the wall mounts) even probably some of the dispensers and stuff like that is acceptable if they're mounted to brackets, but if it's mounted or attached to the house, that is part of the sale and belongs to the buyer.

    I do have a bit of experience demoing/removing equipment from commercial/industrial places, and to be a bit of a devils advocate, the idea of hacking up a safety railing to remove equipment is not that unusual. If a few cuts lets you use a forklift instead of trying to take something down the stairs, 9 times outa 10 its guna get cut. Not saying its the right thing, the right thing to do would be to re-weld it back, of course.
    Moving all your stuff out of a building is usually a pretty rushed thing, and not particularly organized, so I'm not surprised at all shortcuts were made.
    Taking the paper towel dispencers and door knobs is just dumb though. They objectively aren't worth much, and its just asking for problems. And like, what are you guna do with extra paper towel dispensers and a bunch of old doorknobs?

    Them taking the paper towel dispensers is the bit that makes the most sense to me 😅. For commercial/industrial buildings where I live, those (and less commonly, TP dispensers) are typically branded and provided by the cleaning supplies company you have a contract with at no additional cost for as long as you keep buying the paper towels from them, and you are supposed to return them once you cancel your contract/stop buying supplies from them. Some fancier places (shopping malls mostly) have switched to non-branded dispensers (in my experience, recessed metal monstrosities with integrated waste paper bins) but it's not the norm.

    For the a first world I am confused. Where I live "third world" a land lord will not dare damage the property or allow someone renting the property to damage it to this degree. Why? Because the person buying the property made an agreement based on the property and inspections "before damages " thus if it was significant enough the person buying the property can sue the owner for damages and even go as far as making a case for vandalism and that is a criminal case. That means the people that did the damages can get into very serious trouble. So really it is up to you to let it go or not. But vandalizing a building while it is being sold is very serious in our country and I would guess in most countries so who ever these people are better get in contact because criminal charges are exactly that and since it will be easy to proof they might even get more then just a claim against them. But i am not a lawyer I don't know the laws in your country so I don't know what is possible but it might be worth it to speak to a lawyer.

  • @minikame2272
    @minikame2272 Před 2 lety +1

    The issue can boil down to asymmetry in the contracts. It's very normal to buy commercial properties that are only kitted out to what we call a 'Cat A fit out' here in the UK. That means you get your main electrics and lighting in, but not necessary any outlets or bulb fixtures in. Plumbing, but not necessarily a WC. Finished walls, but only to the extent the internal face of the external walls are finished, not necessarily any internal partitions.
    When a tenant moves in, they are free to do as they see fit. However, they aren't obligated to leave items behind for future tenants if it's their property - if they shelled out on fancy smart locks coded to their key fobs which they installed to the doors fixed to partitions they put up, they're more than welcome to take those items with them unless the lease forbids it. It's not typical to lease a Cat A property and then agree to a clause which makes any new fixtures become the freeholder's property.
    The seller's responsibility to be clear with you about what you were actually buying isn't affected by the previous tenant's entitlement to their own property. As the current buyer, you aren't privy to the previous tenant's contract, so there is no reason for the seller to assume that you will correctly infer what the state of the property will be during handover.
    You got quotes through from contractors for the work you're having done, presumably you sent drawings and specifications across. Were these based on your own surveys or did the seller provide these? If they weren't priced in by the Contractor due to being on the existing plans and the seller provided these, then there's a strong case to be made that the building as shown on the drawings is what was leased to you.

    I've stripped a warehouse where they used to bottle cider. We were contracted to take apart machines and a ton of infrastructure, literal multiple tons of cables, of all shapes and sizes. We pulled the thick expensive ones, with great difficulty, because you don't wanna cut those, they're basically useless if you cut them and join them more than it's absolutely necessary. So we pull everything out in the course of a couple of months, put it in trucks and ship it to the other state where some other crew would then put it all to use. Since we were already there, the other guys coming in who had bought the place hired us to install the new machines, lamps, pull more cables etc. And they asked: Where are the high voltage cables?"
    Basically, either through bad faith or miscommunication, the guys coming in expected to have the thick expensive cables where they laid when they bought the place. We told them what we did, not our fault, and I guess they must have worked something out in the background because not even a full week later brand new spools of high voltage cables arrived. It was a very interesting process, me being an assistant electrician, I only had to do the heavy work, unscrew stuff, cut stuff, mend stuff, haul stuff around, I was glad not to have to do any math for that entire job. Basically what I'm saying is, I'm sorry Linus got screwed, it doesn't seem to be that rare an occurrence where people will sell you something and just take off with what you paid for.

  • @helplmchoking

    My understanding is the property is purchased in an agreed state - I think in my country there is actually a provision for a post-purchase inspection to set the condition of the building. So if you bought a house with a steel safety rail in it, you've bought that safety rail as part of the house and if it's suddenly chopped up and ripped out then it's on the seller to replace it or they're breaching the contract.
    The important thing is it's POST purchase, so it's not a matter of them just saying 'aight screw you then, we'll take one of the hundreds of other offers that come through 'cause housing markets are insane'. They're actually liable for missing/damaged things and are obligated to replace/fix it.

    During the last couple years of Covid, people went nuts in realestate. House normally selling within 2-3 days of being listed, some not even making it to being listed.
    Exactly ZERO time to do any due diligence, people essentially buying blind. The reason its happening is real estate investment where the property investors dont care about the state of things as most of them are going to rip down the old house to put up blocks of 4-8 units anyway.
    Makes it a nightmare to buy an actual house to live in, not to mention the rapid inflation as people panic buy what should be a slow methodical purchase. It's slowing down now thankfully, but damage is done.

    sure, the time the chamber is used is still a cost, but people handling it can do other stuff in the meanwhile if you get own PWM controller to just click and run the tests with no supervision. In the same time the person handling it can be setting up the automated temperature tests for another product that will run in a similar fashion
