DLight pollution is not a recognized real estate disclosure issue

Explanation

While not a regulated environmental hazard like contamination, light pollution from casinos, billboards, commercial signage, and street lighting can significantly affect residential properties near the Las Vegas Strip and commercial corridors. In Nevada, where stargazing and dark sky communities are valued in rural areas, light pollution is also a planning consideration. Agents should disclose conditions that materially affect a buyer's use and enjoyment, including significant external lighting that affects the property at night.
