Arizona Real Estate License Practice Exam

When lead-based paint disclosure is required, the real estate agent must ensure that the buyer or tenant receives the lead-based paint disclosure and a booklet. This requirement stems from federal regulations established to protect individuals, especially children, from the hazards associated with lead-based paint, which was commonly used in homes built before 1978.

The disclosure itself informs prospective buyers or tenants about the presence of lead-based paint and its associated risks, while the booklet, titled "Renovate Right," provides essential information on how to safely manage and mitigate lead exposure. This requirement reflects the emphasis on informed decision-making, allowing buyers and tenants to understand the potential health risks and take necessary precautions.

Other options, such as providing a full disclosure statement of all costs to remove lead paint, or requiring a home or soil inspection from a qualified inspector, are not mandatory under the lead-based paint disclosure regulations. While inspections may be useful or desired by the buyer, they are not a substitute for the required disclosure and educational materials regarding lead-based paint hazards. Thus, the focus remains on ensuring that the appropriate disclosure and booklet are provided to the buyer or tenant.
