Through this case, we will explore how to properly handle real estate death disclosures in California.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"El_Escenario\"><\/span><strong>Stage<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Two years ago, a tenant died in Unit 7 of an apartment complex in California. The unit is vacant, and the owner is showing the property to a potential tenant. The landlord informs the prospective tenant that a previous tenant died in the unit two years ago due to AIDS-related complications. The owner adequately disclosed the death, but incorrectly disclosed the AIDS-related cause.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leyes_Relevantes_en_California\"><\/span><strong>Relevant Laws in California<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In California, it is mandatory <em>disclose<\/em> a death on property<strong> sell or rent<\/strong> if it happened in the last <strong>three years.<\/strong> However, if the death was from AIDS or HIV-related causes, the cause of death should not be disclosed. Under California Civil Code Section 1710.2, it is not even considered a material fact that an occupant is HIV positive or has died from AIDS-related complications.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Proteccion_Adicional_Bajo_la_Fair_Housing_Act\"><\/span><strong>Additional Protection Under the Fair Housing Act<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The federal Fair Housing Act of 1988 classified being affected by AIDS (or being HIV positive) as a disability. Because this condition is considered a disability, disclosure is considered discrimination against disabled people and violates federal fair housing laws.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lo_Importante_a_Recordar\"><\/span><strong>Important Things to Remember<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Disclosure of a death at a property is legally required in California for both sales and rentals, as long as the death occurred within the last <strong>three years<\/strong>. Disclosure of other causes of death is legally permitted. A death at a property offered for sale or rental must be disclosed if it occurred within the last three years, not the last year. Importantly, even when a death occurred more than three years ago, a landlord and agent are not allowed to lie in response to a direct question.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Handling disclosure of property deaths is crucial to complying with California and federal fair housing laws. This case demonstrates the importance of understanding when and how to disclose a death on property and when not to. It is essential to be aware of these regulations to provide professional and ethical service to clients.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Un aspecto importante es los disclosures de muertes en propiedades, lo cual es fundamental para cumplir con las leyes de California y la Ley Federal de Vivienda Justa (Fair Housing Act).
