“Haunted” Rentals: Advertising a ghostly roommate

Tuscon Citizen-- The Tucson housing market is teeming with houses and apartments for rent. On Craigslist alone, hundreds of rental opportunities scream for attention. Homeowners and property managers try to convey that one unique quality that will draw the eyes of a potential renter to their ad. With the popularity of ghosts and the paranormal hard to ignore, the thought of advertising a rental as haunted is extremely tempting, whether paranormal activity actually occurs on the property or not.

Take some time to the research real estate laws in your state, because that decision may very well come back to haunt you.

What if you want to sell your property in the future? Many states have “stigmatized property” laws concerning the disclosure of information to potential buyers. Murders, suicides, and in some states, even paranormal activity fall into this category. Once a property is advertised to the public as haunted, the property may become “stigmatized” in some states. Then, if this paranormal activity is not relayed to a potential future buyer, then it could fall into the realm of “non-disclosure” in a real estate transaction.
