⇒ Environmental Hazards
Although the seller is required to disclose the presence of environmental hazards, a statement that the seller is not aware of a defect or hazard does not mean that it does not exist. It is the buyer’s responsibility to be informed and take additional steps to further investigate. Some potential hazards that may be found in Nevada include:
