Violent house sale leads to eight-month jail term
A man has been sentenced to prison for eight months for selling a house without telling the buyer that someone had committed suicide there ...
The Banciao District Court handed down the sentence to Lee Chiong-chi (李炯祺) on Saturday because he did not tell the buyer surnamed Chang (張) that it was a “violent house” — a term meaning that an unnatural death, murder or suicide had occurred at the house ...
Lee bought the house in August 2006 for only NT$4.68 million because a lodger had committed suicide in the house by burning charcoal in the bathroom. One month later, he sold it to Chang through a real estate agent for NT$5.45 million. Lee ticked “no” to the clause on official papers that asked if the house was a “violent house.”
Wow!
We Adoga need to know about this. I don't care about ghosts. I'd love to save a million. Anyone know if there's a website listing these properties?

By the spouses request, we turned down a really nice place in central Taipei, large, bright airy, modern, wood floors, two beds, two baths and a huge patio because of a 5th floor splat.
