Forum / General Property Management / disclosure

My prior tenants, who were complete headaches, called and claimed that someone had attempted to break in. I honestly believe that they locked themselves out and cut the screen on the back door (to perfect of a cut) but they claimed it had to be someone trying to break in(more than likely so they did not have to pay to repair) so I made an incident report. Now when people ask if the unit is safe do i legally have to say an incident report was made?

RE: disclosure

I always tell my prospectives to contact the local police department to find out about safety. That takes the liability off of you and they will get the whole picture instead of one incident.
