Section 1018 of this law directed HUD and EPA to require the disclosure of known information on lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards before the sale or lease of most housing built before 1978.
Lead-based paint disclosure laws apply to all 50 states. The burden of compliance with the lead disclosure law is on the buyers agent. Buyers must be provided with a 60-day period to test for lead, if the buyer chooses.
Sellers must provide homebuyers a 10-day period to conduct a paint inspection or risk assessment for lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards. Parties may mutually agree, in writing, to lengthen or shorten the time period for inspection. Homebuyers may waive this inspection opportunity.
Final answer: Certain types of housing, such as those for the elderly, lofts, and short-term rentals, can indeed be exempt from Lead-Based Paint disclosure requirements. This exemption helps to address unique circumstances within different housing situations.
(a) As soon as practicable, but in any event no later than prior to signing any agreement to transfer real estate, the seller of the real estate shall deliver a written disclosure to the buyer and to each agent with whom the seller knows he or she or the buyer has dealt in connection with the real estate.
