My wife's got the heeby-jeebys. She's interested to know about our rented flat, but there was also a big fire recently in the adjacent block that we'd like to investigate.

As far as I can see there are two avenues of attack, though ideally one should be used in conjuction with the other. The first is to ask the neighbours and see if you can put together some kind of story as to who lived at your address before and when, and if this death story is even half-way true. You should also ask when the "big fire" took place. Armed with this info you then go to the nearest large library and check the newspaper collection for the period in question. The fire at least should be well reported in the local newspaper. If you have a name and approximate date of a death of a former resident of your flat, then that may well be reported too, especially if it was a sudden or violent death, but not neceassrily if the former owner was in their nineties and died peacefully in their sleep.
The website friendsreunited does have a section where people can list their old addresses, but whether any former occupants of your flat would have bothered to list themselves online at this website is another matter entirely.
A visit to your local library (or town hall) could probably also tell you who lived at your address in previous years from looking at the Electoral Roll, but again, this depends on whether or not they were eligible to vote and bothered to register, and this could always be double-checked with the BT phonebooks for the covering years, though again you are assuming they had a phone and weren't ex-directory.
It would be possible, but don't kid yourself that it would be easy. As an amateur genealogist I could probably do it, as could any historian, but for the average layman it's probably not worth the hassle. You might as well get in a local priest or physic and get them to exorcise any 'evil spirits' and put your wife's mind at rest for good. If all else fails, move house!

I have a problem like your wife's and when i moved into my rented flat i asked my landlord because he knew the most about the property. If you rent from a local council i would phone them and ask them. I'm sure it'd not an uncommon question.

The smell is normally a dead giveaway.
