“The entire planet is built on top of dead people from one time or another. This is just more woke, white-guilt BS.”
A real-estate agent in Florida told me that if someone had died in a house, you’d better list on the disclosures. If you don’t and the buyer wants out of the sale, they can sue for release or “damages.” In Florida, probably few people died in any particular house because they have mostly been built relatively recently. But in other states houses can be several hundred years old and it used to be that people died at home, rather than in hospitals. I bought a home where someone died and got quite a nice deal because of the death. The home had been on the market so long the seller took my offer, which was the only one. Next door to one of my rentals a home where a gruesome murder took place went for a good 30k below market. (It probably would have sold better if it weren’t for the splatter pattern on one wall. Oh, and they left the bullet hole. Banks are stupid.)

I think people had to do it in CA, but here in TN that isn’t a law. But probably a good idea in any case.
The homestead where Mom lives was built in 1830 by my “greats”. Many births and deaths in that house over the years. It’s not haunted. Although the room upstairs at the end of the hall always has been called “The Spook Room” by us cousins ... for some reason. hmmmm...
People die in homes all the time. Where the hell else would they die?
My mom’s neighbor was murdered a couple of years ago. The house was bought and being done up to flip. I’m wondering what they paid and what they’ll get.
I owned a rental home in CA where a tenant died. Fortunately, the exact spot was in the driveway and not inside the house. That did not have to be disclosed under CA law at the time.
