Whatever you're sale contract says. Most only allow "major" issues to be the seller's responsibility up to some limit. Then they can cancel the contract or you agree to the capped price. Most house inspectors add the BS items to justify their fee regardless of the fact that the charter of the inspection should be as defined in the contract.
