Lead Warning Statement

Every purchaser of any interest in residential real property on which a residential dwelling was built prior to 1978 is notified that such property may present exposure to lead from lead-based paint that may place young children at risk of developing lead poisoning. Lead poisoning in young children may produce permanent neurological damage, including learning disabilities, reduced intelligence quotient, behavioral problems, and impaired memory. Lead poisoning also poses a particular risk to pregnant women. The Seller of any interest in residential real property is required to provide the buyer with any information on lead-based paint hazards from risk assessments or inspections in the Seller's possession and notify the buyer of any known lead-based paint hazards. A risk assessment or inspection for possible lead-based paint hazards is recommended prior to purchase.

Overview of the Michigan Lead-Based Paint Disclosure

The Michigan Lead-Based Paint Disclosure documents whether a residential property built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint and whether the seller or landlord knows of any lead hazards or records. It implements the federal lead disclosure requirements for housing transactions, ensuring that buyers and tenants receive the EPA/HUD pamphlet and any available reports or records about lead-based paint or lead hazards. The form records seller/landlord statements, attaches inspection or risk assessment reports when available, and documents acknowledgement of receipt by prospective occupants before sale or lease completion.

Why this disclosure matters for Michigan transactions

Providing a completed Michigan Lead-Based Paint Disclosure ensures compliance with federal disclosure rules for pre-1978 housing, documents buyer or tenant acknowledgement of known information, and preserves contractual transparency between parties.

Why this disclosure matters for Michigan transactions

Who completes and receives the disclosure

Typical participants in the disclosure process include sellers, landlords, buyers, tenants, and real estate agents involved in pre-1978 residential housing.

  • Sellers and landlords must complete the disclosure and attach known reports prior to sale or lease.
  • Buyers and tenants must receive the disclosure and sign to acknowledge receipt.
  • Real estate brokers and agents typically supply the pamphlet and manage document delivery.

Maintain a signed copy in transaction records; it serves as evidence that required information and the EPA/HUD pamphlet were provided.

Essential elements included in a professional disclosure

A complete Michigan Lead-Based Paint Disclosure contains standardized statements, attachments, and signer acknowledgements to satisfy federal disclosure obligations and support record retention.

Property ID

Full property address and description of the unit being sold or leased; precise location avoids ambiguity in multi-unit parcels.

Configuring an online disclosure workflow

Field Configuration
Required Fields Make address, year built, and signature fields mandatory
Attachments Allow PDF upload for inspection reports
Authentication Use email and optional SMS code for signer verification

Where the completed disclosure goes

Clear routing ensures all parties receive and retain the signed disclosure and any attached reports immediately after signing.

  • To Buyer/Tenant: Deliver fully signed copy to buyer or tenant for their records
  • To Seller/Landlord: Retain original signed disclosure in transaction file
  • To Broker/Agent: Provide agent with a copy for agency records and compliance
  • For Closing: Include the disclosure in closing documents or lease packet

Digital signing and submission considerations

Use a compliant eSignature platform that supports secure attachments, audit trails, and the ability to present the EPA/HUD pamphlet to signers.

  • File formats: PDF, DOCX accepted
  • Integrations: Connect to MLS, CRM, cloud storage
  • Authentication: Email, SMS, or advanced methods

Verify the platform preserves a timestamped audit trail and stores signed records in a tamper-evident archive to support future audits or disputes.

Timing: when to provide the disclosure

Provide the disclosure and pamphlet early enough that buyers or tenants can review and consider lead information before completing a contract or lease.

Before offer acceptance:

Deliver disclosure when an offer is made or received

At execution:

Attach signed disclosure to the sales contract or lease

Prior to closing:

Ensure closing package includes the signed disclosure

For leases:

Provide disclosure at lease signing and retain a copy

Recordkeeping:

Keep signed disclosure with transaction records

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Failing to attach available inspection or risk assessment reports.
  • Providing an unsigned or undated disclosure to the buyer or tenant.
  • Using ambiguous property identifiers for multi-unit buildings.
  • Not documenting delivery of the EPA/HUD pamphlet clearly.

Risks and potential consequences of errors

Civil Liability: Damages or fines under federal or state law
Cleanup Costs: Potential responsibility for abatement expenses
Insurance Impact: Claims may affect coverage or premiums
Reputational Harm: Agent or seller reputation risk
