If you learned that someone had been brutally murdered in the house or apartment you were thinking about buying or renting, would you balk? Would you feel that the landlord, realtor or former homeowner had a duty to let you know of the property’s provenance?
Real estate lawyer Mark Weisleder says in fact there are no laws in Canada that compel home sellers or renters to disclose a property’s past, no matter how disturbing the history might be.
“The law in Canada does not require them to disclose what many people would consider to be really important information to a tenant,†Weisleder told CTV News Channel Monday.
