Somebody die in my apartment?

Question

Where can I go online to find out if someone has died in my apartment.? I've heard that if someone goes down to the public library, they can find out this info, but their has to be somewhere on the web to find out if you are living in an apartment or home where someone has passed away by means of suicide, murder or just of natural causes. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The only place you are likely to find such information is on a police report and I don't know of anywhere that offers police reports on-line. Obituaries usually don't offer the info you seek.

Obviously you are looking to find out if your apartment has been stigmatized in any way and if it has real estate laws often require the seller or Realtor involved in the transaction to offer such information to the best of their knowledge IF ASKED. Otherwise, it is buyer (or renter) beware.

Answer 2

You may be able to find that in the public library under obituaries. I think that would be difficult though or impossible. Obituaries are by name, not by place of death.

Your landlord (depending on the state) is only obligated to inform you of that if the death has occured recently (like in the last 2yrs).

I sold a home about 7yrs. ago where there was a suicide, the blood stains were still on the floor when we went under contract. When my client sold the home to someone else a year later, he had to tell them that.
Those new owners do not have to say anything to the next owners.

Ask your landlord first. If he doesn't know or looks uneasy & doesn't want to say. Try also contacting the local police dept. I think they'd know better than the library.

Answer 3

I've never heard of such a website.

You may want to do a search of your local newspaper articles. The paper in my area won't even cover stories about suicide, and it is my understanding that many papers won't. If someone dies of natural causes, I doubt a paper would print the location where the person perished.

Answer 4

I happen to know that our former landlady's late husband died in our triplex; she told me so when she was alive.

I suspect that the second owner of this building also passed away here.

She passed away in the hospital, BTW.

You could try talking to some neighbours who have lived in the area for a while; they might know a little of the history of your building.

Answer 5

If the shortcoming of existence became a count of public list then certain, your close by library must have the practise on record. yet another source of practise in this way of ingredient might want to be the police branch, they're referred to as in for deaths of many varieties. the information superhighway is a perfect source of practise, yet is by technique of no potential finished. Who owns the properties? you may want to ask them, or the realtor.

Answer 6

i'm not sure where on the internent but your landlord should know because by law realtors are supposed to tell a potential buyer of anything like that.. if you can't find it online, ask the lardlord or the realtor.. good luck

Answer 7

Most states do not have laws that require the the leasing/renting agent to legally disclose any deaths attached to the property. Even if you pay your $11.99 to the who died in my house website, so maybe find better things to do with your time like learn to spell and make better life choices.
