Question: 1 / 400

When must a Lead Based Paint Disclosure be provided according to real estate regulations?

Post-1985

Prior to 1978

A Lead Based Paint Disclosure must be provided prior to 1978 because this date marks the year when the use of lead-based paint was banned in residential properties. Federal regulations require sellers and landlords to disclose the potential presence of lead-based paint and its hazards to prospective buyers and tenants when dealing with properties built before this cutoff year. The intention behind this requirement is to safeguard public health, particularly the health of children, who are most susceptible to the harmful effects of lead exposure.

For properties built after 1978, this disclosure is not necessary as no lead-based paint was legally allowed to be used. Thus, since option B correctly identifies that the disclosure must be given for properties built before 1978, it aligns precisely with the established regulations regarding lead-based paint and residential transactions.
