Know Your Disclosure Duties in Tennessee

Tennessee sellers must disclose the known condition of their property before going to market. Being upfront with buyers reduces your legal exposure after closing and keeps transactions on track from contract to close.

Here are the key things you must disclose:

Tennessee Residential Property Condition Disclosure: State-mandated form requiring sellers to disclose known defects in the property's structural components, systems, and environmental hazards.

Lead-Based Paint (Pre-1978 Homes): Federal requirement to disclose known lead hazards, provide an EPA pamphlet, and allow buyers up to 10 days for an inspection.

HOA or PUD Documents: Governing documents, bylaws, and master deed must be provided if the property is part of an HOA or planned unit development.

Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) Report: Commonly requested by buyers and lenders in Tennessee. Being proactive prevents delays close to closing.

Known Material Defects: Sellers cannot conceal known issues affecting the value or safety of the property, including structural problems, mold, or pest damage.
