🗣️ Simple Explanation

This section outlines the responsibilities of both the seller and the buyer of a property. The seller must disclose any problems, provide documents, and hand over the property. The buyer must pay the price and take care of the property after the sale. It also covers things like who gets the rent and who pays the taxes.

💡 Real Life Example

A sells a house to B. A must tell B about any hidden problems with the house (like a leaky roof). B must pay A the agreed price. If the house burns down after the sale, B is responsible.

🛡️ KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
  • As a buyer, you have the right to know about any defects in the property.
  • As a seller, you have the right to receive the agreed-upon price.
  • Both buyer and seller have responsibilities regarding the property after the sale.
