Sorry this is just for homeworkIs it true when selling a house in the USA , if the house is haunted you have to tell the buyer that it is ?
No you don't since the presence of ghosts has never been proven. It's not something that has to be disclosed. However anything that is considered a material fact ';something that would affect the buyers decision to purchase the home'; then it might be good to disclose the fact.





Many home buyers are fine with news of a death occurring in the house as long as it wasn't violent or gruesome. There are also buyers who believe homes are haunted by former occupants who died in the house. If you have specific details, you might want to consider sharing it with the buyer unless it pertains to AIDS. Check with your local laws and a real estate lawyer for advice about deaths surrounding AIDS because in some states, AIDS falls into a protected class and could be subject to discrimination claims as well.Is it true when selling a house in the USA , if the house is haunted you have to tell the buyer that it is ?
In Colorado you do not have to disclose previous ghosts or homicides.
In some state YES. You must disclose any information that you have about the problems with the house.
Unless it is an 'as is' sale, the Seller must disclose as much info as possible. It's then up to the Buyer to verify.
thats so weird (UK)
