Environmental hazards that licensees must disclose?

• A. Known hazards such as mold, radon, asbestos, and other significant environmental concerns
• B. Only hazards in the property records
• C. Only hazards that are on the property deed
• D. No disclosures required

Answer: (A)

Licensees must disclose known environmental hazards that could affect a property's value or use. If a licensee knows there are environmental concerns—such as mold, radon, asbestos, or other significant issues—they should disclose them to the buyer and ensure they appear on the required disclosures. The duty isn’t limited to what’s in public records or on the deed; hazards can be known to the seller or broker even if they aren’t documented elsewhere, and undisclosed hazards can create liability. This is why known hazards must be disclosed, while the other choices fail because hazards may exist outside of records or deeds, and some disclosures are required.
