Would you spend twelve bucks

And I'm sure every state is different.

I thought dead was dead?

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

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

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.

So did you buy the house or was that a breaking point for you?
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.
