Input: Hi everyone! My husband and I bought a house in August and when we did the final walkthrough minutes before the closing, we found that the ceiling above the one window in our living room was wet and there was some mold present. My realtor drew up an amendment to our contract, which is signed by all parties, saying that we were going to continue with the closing but the sellers agreed to fix the damage and mold *as well as* the underlying problem.

After a week or two of phone tag, a contractor hired by the seller finally showed up. He gave me the creeps, but whatever. He looked outside, gave me some BS about the gutters, replaced the piece of drywall and then disappeared without even painting it, and I couldn't get a hold of him.

Fast forward a month or so later, the leak is back, and it is even worse....actually dripping instead of just wet spots. I couldn't get a hold of him of course, so I called the realtor, and she gave me the seller's number. I contacted the seller and, of course, the contractor called me right away and told me he would be there the next day. He ASKED if we were going to be home, which was weird, and I said no because we both work but my dad would be there because he was off. The guy never showed up. He texted me saying "something came up" and that he was going to come over the next day (yesterday, now) in the morning, again asking if we would be home. My husband took yesterday off for a different reason, but he was at the house all day. He again never showed up. Since the guy was weird about asking us if we would be home etc., I texted him and asked him "hey, did you get to the house today?" Knowing full well that he wasn't there. He responded with "yeah, I was there! I found some bent flashing above the one window and I replaced it!" He sent the seller a bill for work that was never done. Needless to say I contacted the seller and he fired the contractor and someone else is coming to do the work. The contractor left me a few voicemails calling me an asshole, even though I caught him in a lie. So Reddit, AITA?

TLDR: asked a question I knew the answer to to catch a shady contractor in a lie, caught him, he got fired.
