Laws & AgencyQuestion 39 of 120

Federal law requires disclosure of known lead-based paint hazards for residential dwellings built before:

a.1978
b.1988
c.1970
d.1992

Explanation

The federal Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act requires sellers and landlords of housing built before 1978 to disclose known lead-based paint and provide an EPA pamphlet. Buyers generally receive a 10-day period to inspect for lead. The rule applies because lead paint was banned for residential use in 1978.
