Summary

According to the real estate agent, home sellers are morally obliged inform prospective buyers if they plan to keep their appliances, despite being legally entitled to do so. Why? Because otherwise, many buyers will probably assume that the appliances are included in the sale.

Notable Assumptions

The real estate agent jumps from a premise about buyers’ assumptions to a conclusion about sellers’ moral obligations. So, the agent must be assuming a link between these two ideas.

We can justify the agent’s argumentation by filling in that assumption. To do so, we must find a principle stating that sellers are morally obligated to inform prospective buyers if they will be keeping appliances which some buyers would assume are included in the sale.
