California Real Estate Practice Exam

Which of the following is NOT required for houses built after 1980 and sold with the assistance of a broker?

1. A lead-paint hazard disclosure

2. The Homeowner's Guide to Earthquake Safety

3. State responsibility area disclosure

4. Ordnance location disclosure

The correct answer is: A lead-paint hazard disclosure

Houses built after 1980 do not require a lead-paint hazard disclosure because lead-based paint was banned for residential use in 1978. The other options may be required depending on the location of the house, such as earthquake safety information for states prone to earthquakes and ordnance location disclosure for properties near military bases or former military training areas. However, not all houses will require these disclosures, whereas all houses built before 1980 will require a lead-paint hazard disclosure.
