On the home we sold in Ohio, that we built and lived in for 23 years, our basement flooded three months before we put it on sale due to a really, really, unusually heavy rainy spring and an extremely heavy rain, it had never happened before, we had the basement floor ripped up and had a French drain installed, along with a life time guarantee that the basement was protected in writing from the contractor who installed the French drain.

Now that is something we had to disclose. That is the real estate law of Ohio, whether we sold it personally, or an MLS agent sold it who is married to the Speaker of the House of the United States sold it. That is Ohio law.

Florida laws on disclosure are different than Ohio laws on real estate disclosure. That still means that if you sell it yourself, if an MLS agent sells it or a Villages sales agent sells it, the law is the law and real estate disclosure laws must be followed.

If there was a big problem with water lines, I am pretty danged sure we would have heard it on this forum. We heard about unburied air conditioning lines on this forum. It is important that that much water is disclosed because of the danger of mold.

We watched this house being built, daily, and watched the other houses being built around us, it was very interesting and fun to watch. We watched a total of seven homes bring built for us and two for our chldren over the course of our lifetime. The last two were custom homes by one of Cincinnati's good builders. The home we built here was the most skillfully built of all and the builders were the most careful. It was amazing how they do it with crews who just do one thing and are expert at it. The finishing tile in the kitchen was put in and the builder had it removed and done again because he didn't like how it was done. We were at this site at least once a day and sometimes twice and three times and lived next door, behind and across the street from homes that we watched after we moved in.

But to the point of the thread. Disclosure of person killing themselves in the home. What is important to one is not important to another, but the law must be followed. You can't get away with anything in The Villages.

The truth will out.
