Could you knowingly live in a house where a corpse has decomposed?

Oop, make that “anything that may affect the buyer’s decision to purchase or the price”.

…to disclose the presence of a ghost? Can failure to notify the prospective buyer be grounds to void the sales contract? Suppose you havea house where somebody was killed-and his ghost shows up every dec.4 -are you bound to disclose the haunting? :confused:

Some chalk outlines are more common than others…

I’ve got a house on the market. I am 100% sure there was no spot on the disclosure form that said “check here if house has contained decomposing human flesh.” Then again, real estate laws vary by state.

We’re in California, and we found out about the house next door because our real estate agent was obliged to include the information in the disclosure packet for the house we were thinking of buying (and eventually bought).

That’s why I specified knowingly.

That’s why I’m an agnostitic.

I could. Especially if the decomposing corpse situation caused me to get the house cheaper.

Definitely.
