I was representing a buyer about a year ago and we were under contract on a home. During the inspection we both noticed a very foul odor and the listing agent said it was probably from the living room couch which in fact was stained and filthy. However, we smelled it up close and didn't think it was the couch. The inspector went up into the attic where the smell was more potent. He found several dead rats the size of small cats rotting away up there.
Needless to say we didn't close.
