Realtor Responsibilities

[dylanesque29.livejournal.com]

Hi all-
Myself and my roommates rented a house near Davis Square, through a realtor in Davis Square. Since we moved in, there have been numerous issues, including woefully inadequate/unsafe electric arrangements. Shouldn't there be inspections every time an apartment changes hands? I'm surprised the realtor doesn't request up-to-date records from the landlord when they show the place.

And it should be added that the definition of reasonable changes depending on what's wrong. Certain things like heat during the winter or locks year round are things that need to be fixed asap because the building is not considered habitable. Other things vary, some of which is explicitly codified, some less so.
