Wow, this certainly does sound suspicious.  

It probably is an altruistic family with noble aspirations,
but it makes for a helluva story with all sorts of
possibilities for UA goodness.

Thanatomancers seeking victims?  Too obvious, actually. 
Eventually, one of the transients will be missed, and his
sister will recall a strange ad.  Police can uncover this
quite easily.

Perhaps a ritual that siphons off life energies (or
memories or potential or etc.).  The transients pass
through not knowing that a part of them has been ripped
out.  Perhaps they all die exactly 137 days later.  This is
not something the police would notice, especially as the
transients will likely die several cities over.  But
someone pieces it together and implores the PCs to check it
out.

Or perhaps the house is completely innocent.  A duke’s
brother stayed there for a couple months and then
mysteriously vanished.  Turns out that he got drunk one
night and fell through the ice of a local pond.  

And of course, a house of this--even with the best of
intentions--will likely attract the wrong types.  Sure,
they screen the applicants, but some adepts can pass muster
and fool them into believing he’s normal.  Maybe he hides
out there, figuring that his enemies won’t look there.  But
what happens to the family if an enemy does find out?
