EBOLA & REAL ESTATE

[Karen Margrave]

I just signed a petition on We the People site to place travel restrictions on those coming from countries with large Ebola outrbreaks, Petition. Probably shouldn't be linking that, but it is a matter concerning everyone, and I think they need to get on top of this quick! 

However;  in regard to real estate,  this is a real estate site after all, in watching the news I saw where they had to wait for a Haz Mat team to go to the apartment building where the man from Liberia had been staying to do clean up, also, one of his family members will be quarrantined in the apartment for several days, which brought these questions to mind.

1.  What effect will that person being in the apartment with Ebola do to the prospects of renting that unit in the future, will it need to be disclosed?

2. Will insurance cover the cost of Haz Mat clean up? 

3. Will it affect any future value of the property? 

4. What would you do if you found out there was someone living in your building or a neighbor had Ebola?
