Linda is selling a residential property in Norwalk that was built in 1972. In addition to Connecticut's Residential Property Condition Disclosure Report, which additional federal disclosure must be provided to the buyer before the contract is signed?
Correct Answer
B) Lead-Based Paint Disclosure under the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act
Federal law under the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act (42 U.S.C. § 4852d) requires sellers of residential properties built before 1978 to provide buyers with a lead-based paint disclosure and the EPA pamphlet 'Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home.' Since Linda's property was built in 1972, which is before 1978, this federal disclosure is mandatory in addition to Connecticut's state disclosure report. Buyers also have a 10-day opportunity to conduct a lead paint inspection.
