If someone was murdered in a house, must it be disclosed? (disclosing, commission)

[Diana Holbrook]

I did walk into a house once that LOOKED like there was blood everywhere...

As it turned out, it was some kind of berry jam.

But it looked like an autopsy had occurred in the kitchen.

The house was more than my buyer wanted to take on.

There is a time frame. A landlord told me once that it had to be disclosed if someone died in the unit for any reason (natural causes or violent death) for a certain amount of time. Call a realtor in your area and ask what the time frame is.

In AZ you do not have to disclose unless you are directly asked.

It is in the Pacific North East. I am thinking China.

CA law say you have to disclose. EXCEPT if it's an AIDS related death.

My wife is a nurse practitioner for the local hospice. I think we are seeing a positive trend for dying at home.

So you would not have to disclose any death happened there. That's kind of odd because you should never have to disclose the reason for the death besides if it's a homicide or natural causes like hospice care at home. There are other causes such as suicide or accidental, but then they should only allow you to say, homicide, non homicide or natural.

it depends on the State, here in CT. the seller or in my case the owner/landlord; is not obligated to notify the buyer or renter about the history of the property. I should have googled the address but I was in a big hurry to find a good rental and as soon as I saw the gorgeous views this place had I was sold on it. Just completely forgot about doing a search. If I had I would have seen all the news stories including TV news stories about the arson-murder that had happened there. I didn't find out until I had been living there for about 2 months but as soon as I did then I knew why some strange things had happened.
