Do I need to tell people about the creepy thing that happened next door?

Something creepy happened in the condo next to mine. I don\'t want to get into the details here, but it was enough to make me want to move. Do I need to tell the agent about this? Or do I need to tell the people moving in about it, or is that not my problem?

No, you generally do NOT have to disclose a “creepy” or non-physical event in New York. ⚠️ Important nuance If a buyer directly asks you about something specific, you can’t lie. You don’t have to volunteer the information—but you also shouldn’t misrepresent facts.

This is a hard question to answer without details. However, any issues affecting the property do need to be disclosed. If it creates a safety, structural concern for the buyer I would definitely discuss it with your realtor.
