Which disclosures are required by state or federal law?

The correct answer is that radon, mold, lead paint, and noxious weed disclosures are required by state or federal law. Various regulations mandate these disclosures to protect potential homeowners and renters from environmental hazards and ensure they are informed about possible risks associated with the property.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can lead to health risks, particularly lung cancer, making its disclosure essential. Similarly, mold can pose significant health issues, especially for individuals with respiratory conditions. Lead paint is a critical disclosure particularly in homes built before 1978, as lead exposure can cause serious health problems, particularly in young children. Lastly, the disclosure of noxious weeds is important in Montana due to their ability to negatively impact agriculture and local ecosystems.

These disclosures help create a safer real estate environment by ensuring that buyers and renters have the information they need to make informed decisions regarding their health and property safety.
