Disclosure after a death in a rental unit - Pennsylvania
This is a landlording first for me and hopefully a last... Last week I got a call around 10pm from a local police department where one of my buildings is in Pennsylvania. The mother of my tenant called local police because she hadn't had contact with her daughter for 5 days. I arrived about an hour later to deliver a key to the police. Upon police entry the found my tenant deceased, in her bed, from a possible overdose. Since the cops were there, along with half of the neighbors, it's not a secret as to what happened. I have received numerous responses as to my responsibility to disclose this information to prospective tenants moving forward. Has anyone experienced this before?
