NC's Residential Property Disclosure Statement requires sellers to disclose known mold or mold remediation history. While there is no state law requiring remediation before sale, known mold is a material fact.

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.
