Would you ever buy a house if you could get a really good deal on it, and it was right next to a lovely park and a trail, but a murder-suicide happened in it? (And it was cleaned and repaired) (pawb.social)

Do you have to report all deaths, or just violent deaths?

I think all deaths, but I’m not sure. I’m not a realtor! :)

I've found two links related to this:

Do You Have to Disclose a Death in a House?

This Website Can Tell You If Someone Died In Your House

According to that, in California the period is 3 years for any deaths, except from AIDS, and no limit for violent deaths, but in some other states there is no obligation at all. The second website seems to keep records from 1980 and earlier.

Kind of weird, all of it.
