Tennessee Disclosure Statement from Buyer of Payments

California, like many states, requires its residential property sellers to disclose, in writing, details about the property they have on the market.(See, California Civil Code § 1102.)

Some states real estate laws make it mandatory for sellers and agents to disclose information on homes where a murder, suicide, crime, death or paranormal occurrences have taken place. In Tennessee it is not mandatory to disclose these things unless it affects the physical condition of the property.

Disclosure is something given to the buyer by the seller documenting their knowledge of the property.An examination may reveal defects that the seller may not have been aware of. The buyer should always do a full property inspection, before moving forward with the purchase.

Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) The Transfer Disclosure Statement, also known as the TDS, is a form required by California law in most residential real estate transactions pursuant to California Civil Code 1102.

The Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) is required any time an interest in Residential Property is sold. Residential Property is defined as real property consisting of not less than one nor more than four dwelling units.

Almost every U.S. state has passed laws mandating that sellers give buyers specific information about what structural and other features the house contains, and their condition.

What does Tennessee law say about disclosure? The Residential Property Disclosure Act in Tennessee Code Annotated § 66-5-201 to 210 requires most sellers of residential real estate to complete a disclosure statement. The disclosure statement lets the buyers know about the condition of the property.

Once you and the buyer have signed a written agreement for the sale of your property, you must deliver a copy of your completed disclosures to the buyer within five business days.
