Q: Disclosure Laws Inquiry
I’d planned to continue to live in the home I’ve owned for 20 years, for another 5-10 years and then sell. 8 weeks ago a person purchased the home next door and acts as if the property is a nightclub, blasting their outdoor stereo into early morning hours. The police have been contacted numerous times by us, anonymously. Does the length of time that we remain here effect whether or not we would have to disclose the noise nuisance at sale?
A: If it is indeed a nuisance, then the police and town will stop it. If it is an annoyance, then you don't have to disclose it, since an annoyance is akin to you just not liking your neighbors, or the color of the house across the street.
