My neighbors host nude parties my kids can see from the trampoline

A FAMILY is terrified they may never sell their home due to the unusual antics that happen next door.

The sellers reached out to a real estate expert about their concerns that their neighbor's nude parties could turn people away from purchasing their home.

All homes come with their unique characteristics, but one Arizona family feels that they may have to disclose their neighbor's nude parties.

The clothing-free evenings are especially concerning for families with children.

"When our children are jumping on the trampoline in our backyard, they can sometimes see nude people socializing in our neighbor’s backyard," they explained.

After coming across the unusual sight, the family asked other neighbors about the parties.

"We were told our next-door neighbors are members of a nudist group, and that they have gatherings in their backyard on the weekends with the prohibition of any alcoholic beverages."

Now, as the family begins to prepare to move out, they have to decide whether they will tell interested parties about the nudist parties.

"We are planning on selling our home at the end of this year. Will we have to disclose to potential buyers these nudist parties by our next-door neighbors?" the notes asked.

Real estate law guest columnist, Christopher A. Combs, responded to their confusion with a simple explanation.

He began by noting that many sellers convene with their real estate agents for hours to discuss what constitutes as a material and adverse fact about a home that must be disclosed to a buyer.

"The law, however, is simple: If it is a material and adverse fact, it must be disclosed to the buyer. If it is not a material and adverse fact, then why not disclose it to the buyer?"

When it comes to the specific issue of nude parties nearby, the expert explained that the information is less pertinent because it does not occur on their property.

"For example, neighbors walking nude in the front yard is probably a material and adverse fact requiring disclosure," he suggested.

Fortunately, as long as the nudists stay on their side of the property line, there should not be too big of an issue.

"Neighbors on the weekends walking nude in their own backyard, however, and visible only to your children jumping on a trampoline, is probably not a material and adverse fact," he concluded.

If parents are greatly concerned about their children's exposure to the nudists, they always have the option to remove the trampoline.
