Under the Tennessee Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act, which of the following transactions is NOT exempt from the mandatory disclosure form requirement?

Correct Answer

A) A sale of a single-family home by an individual owner-occupant to an unrelated third-party buyer

The sale of a single-family home by an individual owner-occupant to an unrelated third-party buyer is a standard residential real estate transaction that is fully subject to the Tennessee Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act. This is precisely the type of transaction the Act was designed to regulate — a seller who has lived in and has knowledge of the property's condition must disclose known material defects using the standardized TREC form. This transaction is NOT exempt.

Answer Options
A
A sale of a single-family home by an individual owner-occupant to an unrelated third-party buyer
B
A sale of a newly constructed home covered by the builder's one-year warranty
C
A transfer of a single-family home by a bank following a non-judicial foreclosure sale
D
A transfer of a residential property between co-owners to consolidate ownership
