Title X

Sellers Must Disclose Lead-Based Paint and Hazards

If you are selling a house built before 1978, you must comply with a federal law called the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (U.S. Code § 4852d), also known as Title X. You must:

• disclose all known lead-based paint and hazards in the house
• give buyers a pamphlet prepared by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) called Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home
• include certain warning language in the contract as well as signed statements from all parties verifying that all requirements were completed
• keep signed acknowledgements for three years as proof of compliance, and
• give buyers a ten-day opportunity to test the house for lead.
