The seller/landlord obviously will not advertise that. You'd have to research homicides, filter the ones that happened in homes, filter the homes that are up for sale, and then bring that up during negotiations and hope that persuades the seller to go lower. They might not budge on that, I wouldn't unless you could show the homicide was related to it somehow being a dangerous area and not just the individual circumstances of the victim/perpetrator.

In some states, they have to tell you if someone died on the property if you ask the seller/lesser.

I've wondered about this. I knew an elderly couple that was brutally murdered by their son and his boyfriend for money. Apparently they weren't dying from old age fast enough. They had built a modest home after saving up for it.

The house has changed hands many times since. I just wonder if each new owner is told the original owners story.

I also know of a new house that is built on top of an old graveyard. They had to have removed the tombstones to build. I wonder at what point this becomes allowable?
