Disclosure of Information on Lead-Based Paint and/or Lead-Based Paint Hazards

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.

What the Tennessee Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Is

The Tennessee Lead-Based Paint Disclosure documents seller or landlord statements about known lead-based paint hazards in residential properties built before 1978. It implements federal lead disclosure requirements for real estate sales and leases and records delivery of the EPA/HUD lead hazard pamphlet to purchasers or tenants. The form collects the property address, seller or landlord information, known inspection or abatement history, and acknowledgement of receipt. Proper completion creates a contemporaneous record that parties can rely on during closing, lease execution, or later dispute resolution.

Why Accurate Lead Disclosure Matters

Completing the Tennessee Lead-Based Paint Disclosure protects buyers and tenants, satisfies federal disclosure obligations, and reduces legal and financial risk for sellers and landlords when properties were built before 1978.

Common preparation errors to avoid

  • Failing to deliver the EPA/HUD pamphlet or a clear acknowledgement of receipt before lease execution or closing creates noncompliance.
  • Entering incomplete property data or misspelling names leads to record mismatches during title searches or dispute resolution.
  • Omitting available inspection or abatement reports makes statements appear less credible and increases post-closing risk.
  • Using ambiguous language like 'no known hazards' without specifying the basis for that statement can invite challenges.

Timing rules and when the disclosure must be provided

Provide the disclosure and the EPA/HUD pamphlet at prescribed transaction points to meet federal disclosure expectations.

Before sale closing:

Disclosure and pamphlet delivered prior to execution of sale contract or closing.

Before lease signing:

Provide before tenant signs lease for properties built before 1978.

During negotiations:

Early delivery reduces surprises and supports informed offers.

When records change:

Update disclosure if new inspection or abatement information becomes available.

Record retention:

Keep signed copies per your recordkeeping policy (see retention guidance).
