Some states consider being dead a state of mind, take California for example :D

Great law. You have to disclose that someone may have died in their sleep in the house, but not if it was used to cook meth, was used as a distribution center, or a was used as a whore house, just so long as nobody died.

One man's whore house is another man's castle :yikes:

Under California Civil Code Section 1710.2, if someone dies on the property, it's a material defect – but only if the death occurred within three years of the date you make an offer to purchase or rent the home. Technically, if the property was the location of a mass murder in 1975, the seller, lessor, agent or broker does not legally have to volunteer the information.

However, if the seller or their agent knows of a death that occurred prior to the three years, and you/buyer asks they must disclose. If you don't ask...they don't have to tell you, if it has been longer than 3 years.

That kind of makes sense.

Suicides and murders can be as bad as it gets.Came across a garage suicide years ago,guy at least went out and bought a sheet of ply wood to sit in front of when he blew his brains out,Friggen mess.

It would be a breaking point for me. I believe in the paranormal...

I didn't really like the house but if I did like it, I think it would have been a deal breaker. It was a very said story and made the paper, I just didn't realize at the time who it was and that it was that house.

I believe Eli is spot on on this. I just closed escrow a couple months ago and its amazing what has to be dislcosed and what doesn't. IE my place in Brea is within 30 miles of something that used to be a military armory, and 3 times on 3 separate docs did I have to acknowledge, and agree, that I do not have the right to farm on my property, and that I will agree not to. Kind of funny doing that for a condo, but the law is the law I guess. Now when I asked, farming and growing some vegetables and such for your own consumption are too different things so any closet hippie can relax.
