Tennessee Real Estate License Exam Practice Question
A property manager has successfully negotiated the lease of a home built in 1965 to tenants who have no children. Regarding disclosure of lead-based paint, the property manager should
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Option D is the most appropriate action, as federal law mandates that landlords disclose the presence of lead-based paint in homes built before 1978, regardless of tenant demographics. This includes providing the required booklet on lead hazards and obtaining a signed disclosure form from the tenants.
Option A is incorrect because the obligation to disclose lead-based paint does not depend on whether children are present; it applies to all tenants in homes built before 1978.
Option B is not necessary at this stage, as the law requires disclosure rather than immediate remediation unless the lead paint poses an immediate risk.
Option C, while partially correct, is incomplete. Tenants must receive the booklet and sign the disclosure form, not just have the option to test the home.
