Xiao Li Chen says she paid more than $500K to clean up contamination she claims came from an underground fuel oil tank at a property she bought on Holmes Street. Now she's suing her real estate agent and the couple who sold her the house.
The former owner of a Burnaby house is suing her real estate agent and the couple who sold her the house over an old underground fuel tank she claims contaminated her property and the property next door.
Chen claims the source of the hydrocarbons was a fuel oil tank that had been removed from the property in 1990 before she bought it. She is now suing her real estate agent, Raffi Antepyan, and agency, Re/Max, for breach of contract, negligence and breach of fiduciary duty. “If the plaintiff had been made aware of the contamination prior to entering into the property contract, she would not have agreed to purchase the property from the sellers on the terms set out in the property contract,” states the claim.
