Homicide under investigation next door
My husband and I have recently purchased a rental single family property in a class B neighborhood in Los Angeles and few weeks ago there was a shooting involving the neighbor next door who shot and killed two people. He called the police himself and told the police that they were trying to force their way inside his house. Police is still investigating the case.
We are in the process of renting this property and we want to know should we disclose this information to prospective tenants? If yes, how do we do so without scaring them away? The neighborhood overall is a very calm and safe neighborhood. Other neighbors are also shocked and surprised about this incident. We are really concerned that we won't be able to rent this property.
Any advice is highly appreciated!
