Sue for what? I’m sure the shows covered their ass to prevent that from happening.

When I was younger, they fixed up a house that was in the city I was living in. The family that lived there knew exactly what was coming and sold it shortly after. Not sure what happened to the home after that but I can only imagine it brought nothing but problems.
Edit
The house was on episode 13 of season 1.

You can’t give those homes to poor people and expect them to be able to keep it up or even know how much things are.
The size of those homes isnt really outrageous. She said 6 bedroom and theater room like it’s shocking. Damn near every house in my subdivision is at a minimum 5 bedrooms, has a theater on the basement level.
The issue is they didn’t know what to maintain and what not to. A heated pool will run more electricity than the entire house, especially up north. Turn that shyt off! Sell that expensive ass projector they put in the theater and get a normal one.
But one last thing, the city was scamming them on those taxes. Taxes are based on the age of the home, number of bedrooms, things like an in ground pool, and excludes the basement work. They probably changed their tax rate to a new home and then included the completed basement as livable area.

Lo...l they had to run up 2200 in utilities because you can simply turn off the lights and not run the water as much.....yes the house is bigger..but its not a excuse...let say the heating bill went up cause of more space...its simple as lowering the thermostat...sounds like the thing that was broke was there mindset
Should have sold it asap
Ah big houses eat up far more passive electricity than normal
Isn’t it essentially a new home though if they’re demolishing the old one and rebuilding it from the ground up?

Yeah from what I understood, the city considers it a new property and adjusts taxes accordingly.
I peeped that episode and sigh....the white mother and em were dumb as ashy bricks not trying to sell the house before the housing crisis happened 
On the episodes I saw they added on and didn’t demolish. They completely demolished some of those homes?
In a lot of places if you keep one wall standing the city can’t consider it a new property. Its very common to see a new home being built with a wall already there.

Thanks to the lawyers uh, I marbled the foyer

Ol girl wig was crazy work
HOW?
bigger houses usually have bigger ACs, thats majority of your light bill right there...
Also more appliances and lighting as well.
