Practice Of Real EstateNatural Hazard DisclosureMEDIUM

Under Nebraska's Seller Property Condition Disclosure Act, how should a seller treat known storm damage to the property?

Correct Answer

B) Disclose it as a known material defect on the seller property condition disclosure statement

Nebraska's Seller Property Condition Disclosure Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. §76-2,120 et seq.) requires sellers of residential real property to disclose all known material defects. Known storm or tornado damage — such as roof damage, structural issues, or water intrusion resulting from severe weather — constitutes a known material defect and must be disclosed on the seller's property condition disclosure statement. Nebraska does not have a separate tornado-specific disclosure law; the obligation arises from the general material defect disclosure requirement.

Answer Options
A
No disclosure is required because weather events are not material defects
B
Disclose it as a known material defect on the seller property condition disclosure statement
C
Disclosure is only required if the damage was caused within the past year
D
Disclosure is only required for commercial properties, not residential
