And if you DON'T disclose it, you face financial and legal liability later.

When I FIRST learned about this factoid, about a decade or so before my Mom died in fact...I was like Oooo people don't want to buy houses someone died in? Haunted houses? CAN I BUY A CHEAP HOUSE?! But alas, no. People get much less stupidersticious when it's money on the line

But there are SOME people who do not want to buy a house anyone has died in, sometimes for cultural reasons, all for ghost-y like reasons. /eyeroll I mean imagine you had to disclose which rooms a person may have menstruated in or some shit. It's just as dumb.

So I found via a lazy ass google search this article which talks about it. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/shouldn-t-the-home-seller-have-told-us-someone-died-here.html … Apparently in CA you only have to disclose if it was w/in 3 years Which is still really fucking horrible esp since it's so soon after.

And again there's ZERO reason to do this. Death doesn't contaminate jack shit. We're no longer in the age where when a child gets scarlet fever all the toys must be burnt. The *few* diseases which do need decontaim, they didn't die at home anyway :P

Well, it's a feedback loop kind of thing. Whether or not you personally believe in ghosts or care about the bad luck of buying a house someone died in, *other* people might, and that will drive down the resale value of the house

Replying to @arthur_affect @MelanieMoore
So even if it never has any personal effect on you at all while you live there, it has a direct financial impact on you if you try to sell the house or rent it out
