In September 2026, a seller planned to sign a contract to sell a 1968 single-family home. Before the buyer signs, which action is NOT required by the federal lead-based paint disclosure rule?

Correct Answer

B) Remove, encapsulate, or permanently eliminate all lead-based paint before the contract is signed

The federal lead disclosure rule requires disclosure and information-sharing, not mandatory pre-sale abatement in every transaction. Sellers generally must disclose known information, provide the required pamphlet and warning language, and give the buyer the inspection opportunity described in the rule.

Answer Options
A
Provide any available records or reports about known lead-based paint or lead hazards
B
Remove, encapsulate, or permanently eliminate all lead-based paint before the contract is signed
C
Give the buyer a 10-day opportunity to conduct a lead inspection or risk assessment unless the parties change or waive it in writing
D
Give the buyer the EPA-approved pamphlet and the required lead warning language
