What must be done if a property has failed radon mitigation?

In the context of radon mitigation, if a property has failed to effectively reduce radon levels, it is crucial for ethical real estate practices and to ensure transparency that the buyer is informed of these results. This obligation stems from the duty of the seller and their agent to disclose material facts about the property that could affect the buyer's decision. Radon is a serious health hazard, and potential buyers need to be aware of any issues related to radon levels before completing a purchase.

Informing the buyer allows them to consider the level of risk and the potential costs associated with further mitigation efforts or the implications for living in the property. This fosters trust in the transaction and supports informed decision-making. Moreover, many states have specific disclosure laws regarding environmental hazards such as radon, meaning that failing to inform the buyer could have legal ramifications as well.

Other options may seem reasonable but do not fulfill the primary responsibility of disclosure regarding health and safety concerns associated with radon levels in the home. It’s essential for all parties involved in a real estate transaction to prioritize health and safety considerations, making the obligation to inform the buyer of the radon test results paramount.
