Answer B: Provide buyers with a lead-based paint disclosure and EPA pamphlet, and allow 10 days for testing

The federal Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act requires sellers and landlords of pre-1978 housing to disclose known lead-based paint hazards, provide an EPA pamphlet, and give buyers up to 10 days to conduct lead inspections. They do not have to test or remove lead.

Exam Tip: Environmental

Environmental questions test knowledge of hazards like asbestos, lead-based paint, radon, and mold. Know the disclosure requirements and when a professional inspection is required. CERCLA liability is strict, joint, and several.
