Review the question and all answer choices

A

All deaths on the property

While some states may require disclosure of deaths on property, Ohio does not mandate this. This is a common misconception, but such disclosures are typically handled at the local level or through property condition reports rather than being legally required.

B

Lead-based paint for pre-1978 homes

Correct Answer
C

Future zoning changes

Future zoning changes are not required disclosures in Ohio. Agents cannot predict with certainty how zoning might change, and disclosing speculative information could create liability issues.

D

Previous owners' occupations

Previous owners' occupations are not required disclosures in Ohio. This type of information is considered private and is not relevant to the property's condition or value, except in very specific circumstances not covered here.

Why is this correct?

Federal law under the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act requires disclosure of lead-based paint information for properties built before 1978. This applies nationwide, including Ohio, and is designed to protect buyers from potential health hazards.
