Disclose any kind of death in a home
Questions have been raised as to whether a seller should disclose that there has been a natural death which occurred in the home. In my opinion, if it is a fact that would be important to a buyer, then it should be disclosed. In the GTA alone, there are so many cultures and languages spoken that it is almost certain that a death in the home, however it happened, may affect a buyer's decision to buy a property so it should be disclosed before any offer is made.
Here's an article from real estate expert and lawyer, Mark Weisleder about a case involving a suicide that was not disclosed to the buyer as well as my his views on the subject.
