What Happened: A Texas landlord leased a standalone building to a tenant for use as a restaurant. Even though the building needed a lot of work, the tenant accepted it “as is” without warranty of suitability for its intended restaurant use. The gamble came up snake eyes when the tenant discovered physical defects in the building while performing the construction work. The tenant stopped paying rent and claimed fraud when the landlord sued.
