For an environmental hazard to be required to be disclosed, it must?

  1. Be publicly recorded

  2. Be visible to the naked eye

  3. Be located on or near the property, potentially affect the property and specifically be known to the seller or agent

  4. Be mentioned in the property listing

The correct answer is: Be located on or near the property, potentially affect the property and specifically be known to the seller or agent

A Being publicly recorded may not always be true, as some environmental hazards may not be a matter of public record. For example, a previous owner could have hidden a hazardous substance on the property without disclosing it. B: Not all environmental hazards are visible to the naked eye, so this may not always be a reliable indicator. D: An environmental hazard may not always be specifically mentioned in the property listing, so relying on this option may not always be accurate.
