[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is an old thread, but it's an interesting topic.

To those saying sell/get out of there, I'm thinking in some states you would have to disclose this situation to the buyer. While it's not a specifically mandated disclosure, many states have other statutes that require disclosure of known nuisances or criminal activity on the property. I worry that if you don't disclose, you could be setting yourself up for a nasty lawsuit later. Thoughts? Obviously it's state specific. [/quote]

Yeah. I was thinking the same exact thing. We lived in an old building in Los Angeles where the neighbor downstairs would slam a broom on the ceiling all day long if we so much as walked across the floor (shoes off, tippy toes) she was obviously crazy and had a crazy daughter who we had been warned by neighbors not to engage with. We never complained to her, or the police or anyone else so when we sold and had in the paperwork that question "have you had any disputes with any immediate neighbors or cause to report them to police" we could say, hands on hearts "no". There were never any disputes because we were passive about it (though deeply unhappy!) specifically because we knew we would at some point, sell.[/quote]
