    Post A woman lets workers continue with a renovation after they arrive at the wrong house

    A woman lets workers continue on with a renovation after they arrive at the wrong house...

    Getting the wrong mail at your address because of a goof-up is a very common thing but have you heard of an accidental house renovation because of an address mix up? Sounds bizarre, right?. Wait till you hear this story of TikToker user, who shared her experience in a series of videos. What is more baffling is that she claimed to know that the workers were at the wrong address but decided not to inform them and let them renovate her house. Sharing the story of this unexpected house renovation encounter, Chloe Fountainn narrates that she was relaxing at her home when workmen showed up at her house with a huge truck filled with rocks. While you would have expected her to go to stop the unplanned renovation, Chloe said nothing and allowed these men to go on with their work.

    LOL -- at least she's going to pay up. I was afraid she'd weasel out of paying them.

    If she did nor, the company would put a lien on the house.

    But would the lien stand if it went to court? I mean, since she never hired them to do the work? There would be no contract that bound her to pay. Or, would her verbal acceptance be construed as an agreement to pay?

    It would stand up. There's plenty of case law on this subject.

    I would have to imagine that she would have a chance to re-negotiate the price based on the company not wanting the incompetent label in public.
