What are you not required to disclose regarding a property?

Past flooding incidents
Roof repairs made within the last year
Death by natural causes
Plumbing issues

The correct answer is: Death by natural causes

The requirement to disclose certain information about a property can vary, but in Texas, sellers are not legally obligated to disclose a death by natural causes that occurred on the property. This aligns with Texas laws that emphasize the privacy rights of individuals and don't require the disclosure of such events, as they are not considered material defects related to the property's physical condition or value. On the other hand, past flooding incidents, recent roof repairs, and plumbing issues are all related to the condition and safety of the home. These factors directly affect the property’s value and the buyer’s decision-making process, making their disclosure essential under Texas law. Therefore, while sellers should be forthcoming about physical issues or threats that might impact a buyer's choice, they are not required to talk about non-physical events like a death by natural causes.
