If a previous owner of the house you were living at visited the house and introduced themselves to you

And they let you know that they had lots of good memories while they lived there. But than they say that they're getting old and sick and they wish for you to allow for them to pass away in your/ their old house.
What would you do?
(Yes this is based off of an episode of King of the Hill) lol

Pass away? No lol

🤷🏻‍♀️ I was showing Kiddo the outside of the home from when she was a baby. The new owner was coincidentally there. When I explained he ended up inviting us in. It was kind of him and turned out to be a special memory for her.

Sexist as this might be, if it were a woman I’d let them walk through, but if it was a guy I’d tell them to leave their number and I’d get back to them after discussing it with my fiancé. He’s a sentimental guy though, so I imagine he’d be OK with it if we were both home.

I haven’t experienced this but it is wildly inappropriate to visit upon the homes of people who dwell where you did formerly. To do so is to suggest that you some how have some right to be there and continue your presence. When you leave a place you leave. The next person who inhabits it has the right to their peace and privacy and separation from you and your story.

@Muthafukajones true lol in the episode of KOTH that made me wanna ask this though the lady who used to own the house came up just to look at it from the outside. But Hank was outside and seen her, asked what she was doing. And when she told him she used to live there and how much she liked the house. He choose to invite her in for supper and to see the inside of the house. It was intrusive of her to wish to die in there thou lol. Obviously though something that happens on a TV show probably wouldn't happen in real life. It is kinda far fetched lol

@Blazer420 I think that depending on the circumstances of the new owner… perhaps loneliness or curiosity it could be ok but in general it is an odd thing to do.

The previous owners of my place passed away. Now, if one of the kids that grew up here (and I met all of them when we closed) wanted to see what I did with things, fine. They want to die here? No way, I don't want to die here either. I wouldn't want to die at any of the places I used to live, not even where I grew up.

Happily allow them to hang out for an hour or so, sharing memories and telling stories. Can't say I'd let them die in my home though. Creepy.

Uh, no.
I did meet the original owners of my home but they never asked this. Besides, they're younger than me.
