ARE THERE THINGS A HOMEOWNER DOES NOT HAVE TO DISCLOSE BY LAW?
According the the Residential Seller’s Advisory, a home seller does not have to disclose that the property is or has been:
- The site of a nature death, homicide, suicide or crime classified as a felony.
- Owner or occupied by a person exposed to HIV or diagnosed as having AIDS or other diseases transmittable through occupancy of a property.
- Located in the vicinity of a sex offender.
FYI: the law does not protect a home owner who is asked questions about one of the above statements who knowingly lies in his/her answer. A homeowner can respond by saying they are not required by law to answer such questions.
