In October 2026, a seller listed a 1972 duplex and told the broker that an old lead inspection report was still in the file from prior renovations. Before contract execution, what is the best federal compliance step?

Correct Answer

D) Provide the existing report and the required federal lead disclosure materials before the contract is signed

For covered pre-1978 housing, available lead reports and the required disclosure materials must be provided before the buyer becomes obligated under the contract. The rule is designed to deliver known information early enough for informed decision-making.

Answer Options
A
Keep the report private unless the buyer specifically asks for environmental records in writing
B
Disclose only if peeling paint is visible during the buyer's final walk-through inspection
C
Wait until closing because lead disclosure is a post-contract settlement matter
D
Provide the existing report and the required federal lead disclosure materials before the contract is signed
