Key Concepts

Protected Classes

Protected classes are groups of people who are legally shielded from discrimination based on specific characteristics.

Lead-Based Paint Disclosure

The Lead-Based Paint Disclosure is a federally mandated disclosure required for all residential properties built before 1978. Sellers and landlords must disclose known lead-based paint hazards and provide the EPA pamphlet "Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home."

Property Condition Disclosure

A property condition disclosure is a written statement by the seller detailing the known condition of the property, including defects, repairs, and issues with major systems. Most states require sellers to complete this form.

Seller's Disclosure Statement

A seller's disclosure statement is a form that sellers complete to inform buyers about the condition and history of the property, including known defects, past repairs, insurance claims, and environmental issues.

Flood Zone Disclosure

Flood zone disclosure requires informing buyers whether a property is located in a designated flood zone as mapped by FEMA. Properties in high-risk flood zones may require mandatory flood insurance.

Megan's Law Disclosure

Megan's Law requires states to make information about registered sex offenders available to the public. Some states require real estate agents to inform buyers about the availability of sex offender registries.

Radon Disclosure

Radon disclosure involves informing buyers about the presence or potential presence of radon gas in a property. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can accumulate in buildings and is the second leading cause of lung cancer.

Asbestos Disclosure

Asbestos disclosure involves informing buyers about the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in a property. Asbestos was commonly used in construction materials before 1980 and poses health risks when fibers become airborne.

Mold Disclosure

Mold disclosure involves informing buyers about the presence of mold or conditions that are conducive to mold growth in a property. While no federal mold disclosure law exists, many states require disclosure of known mold issues.

HOA Disclosure

HOA disclosure requires informing buyers about the existence, rules, fees, financial health, and restrictions of a homeowners association governing the property. This information helps buyers understand their obligations before purchase.

Mandated Disclosures: What You Need to Know

Mandated Disclosures covers the legally required information that sellers and agents must provide to buyers during a real estate transaction. While this topic carries a lower exam weight at 6%, the questions tend to be straightforward, making it an excellent area to score easy points.

The most important federal disclosure requirement is the Lead-Based Paint Disclosure for homes built before 1978. Sellers must disclose known lead paint hazards, provide the EPA pamphlet "Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home," and give buyers 10 days to conduct a lead inspection. This applies to all residential sales and leases of pre-1978 housing, with limited exemptions.

Beyond lead paint, agents must disclose all known material facts β€” any information that could affect the buyer's decision to purchase or the price they would offer. Even in "as-is" sales, disclosure obligations remain. Many states have specific disclosure forms covering property conditions, natural hazards, environmental hazards, and neighborhood conditions. Know your state's requirements, including timing deadlines for providing disclosures.
