Explanation

The Lead-Based Paint Disclosure and Notification Act requires disclosure for all target housing (residential built before 1978). Sellers must disclose known lead-based paint and provide available records. Buyers have a 10-day inspection period (waivable). In Nevada's older neighborhoods — especially in North Las Vegas, downtown Reno, or Sparks — pre-1978 housing requires these disclosures.
