Tennant found dead in house
I just received a call from one of my tenants saying they found the other tenant dead in his room. Sheriff's Office is investigating the cause (looks like suicide) and will be contacting Next of Kin to notify and come pick up his things. My question here is, am I required by law to disclose that there was a death in the house to the next renter? Have any of you experienced a death in your rentals? If so, any pointers that I may not be thinking of.
On a side note: Thoughts and prayers with his family. He was way too young for this to happen.

You may not have to but the other tenant is going to tell them if it is a rent by room situation so consider that.
