Deceased Person Rental

So I will be looking at a home this weekend where apparently a woman passed away in it sometime in July of last year. I have heard that there are laws regarding disclosures, but I have not managed to find anything about someone buying a home from an estate of a person that died in the home and then renting it out. My plan is to rent it out if I decide to buy it, but want to know if I need to disclose anything to potential renters. This might cause serious problems with rent-ability. I live in Tulsa, OK and the cause of death was natural... thankfully.

Does anyone know if I need to provide potential renters with any kind of disclosure for something like this? How long does someone have to disclose a death? After it sells once, twice, forever, or is it defined in terms of years after death, etc?

Any experience on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
