Aborted Transaction Disputes, Deposit Release, Undisclosed Defects, Among Other Things



Last Updated: August 26 2026

Question: What should I do in Ontario if a real estate seller didn’t disclose a latent defect before closing?

Answer: If you’re in Ontario and a disclosed or undisclosed latent defect shows up after closing, Reznik Legal Services can help you assess your agreement terms, gather transaction records, identify what was disclosed (and what likely wasn’t), and determine next steps for a dispute, negotiation, or potential legal action by a paralegal.  Acting quickly matters because delay can affect evidence and leverage.  Call (416) 222-9906 to book a consultation with Reznik Legal Services for practical guidance on your options.

Realty Issues Commonly Leading to Legal Action

When a realty deal goes awry, legal disputes often arise.  In some circumstances the seller of a property may suffer losses and in other circumstances it is the buyer that suffers harm.  Regardless of which side of a troubled realty transaction you are on, professional legal advice should be sought.

Common Issues

Frequently occuring realty dispute issues that give rise to litigation involve, among other things:

  • The failure to close in broom swept condition;
  • The failure to close whereas a buyer abandons the agreement;
  • The improper removal of fixtures or certain chattels prior to closing;
  • The failure to properly close a pool or perform other maintenance;
  • The failure to disclose details regarding a latent defect; and
  • The improper concealment of a patent defect.

NOTE: A considerable amount of online queries featuring “lawyers near me” or “best lawyer in” typically indicate a desire for prompt and competent legal assistance rather than a specific type of legal professional.  In Ontario, licensed paralegals fall under the regulation of the same Law Society that governs lawyers and have the authority to advocate for clients in certain litigation matters.  Skills in advocacy, legal analysis, and procedural knowledge are fundamental to this role.  Reznik Legal Services provides legal representation within its licensed parameters, focusing on strategic positioning, evidentiary preparation, and effective advocacy geared towards securing efficient and positive outcomes for clients.
