Disclosure to renters?

[Who's Liable?]

Really? Cause non of yuor other post are corrected. So I ask again how do you know? Do the website owners discuss member business with you? Lol I guess your relationship with justs is not disputed.

If you do not remember why you were banned, ask the moderator who banned you. I'm sure they will remind you. My record speaks for itself, how does yours stand up?

Thank you all for your replies. The house is not in a FEMA flood plain. I have not tried to sell the house. The house flooded in September when we had a record 18" of rain. I would feel bad if I didn't disclose it to a potential renter and they lost personal property. My daughter lost yearbooks and we both lost personal items some of which cannot be replaced. I just was not sure if legally I had to disclose the potential for flooding. The property floods but this is the first time since I have been here that the water actually came in the house. Now I have flood insurance.

A lot of places in MO experience more than normal rain fall. Since is the first time it flooded, I would tell renters that this was the only time it flooded due to heavy excessive rainfall. A lot of counties record areas that are know to be flood areas and if you not listed, than I would also indicate that. But if you are in a flood zone, than you should tell renters that with heavy rain fall, like you just experienced might cause property to flood. As Atomizer stated, "It may be the moral thing to do, but may not be legally required." I always stipulate in the lease if this house or that has a water problem or something that might affect the property. And I always list that they should carry renters insurance.
My main concern is the sinkhole. How did you find that out? I know MO has a lot of sinkholes

The water overflowed into the yard (front and back) all the time. I blocked the pipe that brings it in the yard. It is all my property and there are no easement. I then consulted with an engineer to address the flooding and during his investigation he determined there was sinkhole. The GIS maps show a sinkhole. I am not sure how accurate the online GIS map is. Then he had me go get specific documents that were referred to in the Aldermen meeting minutes. Once I did that it was obvious that the City issued a building permit without preliminary plat and in the drainage and on a sinkhole. The City new they were issuing a building permit to build a home on a sinkhole. Since then the city has issued additional permits uphill making the problem worse.
