Based Paint Disclosure Form

Use a Based Paint Disclosure template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What the disclosure form does

A Based Paint Disclosure Form records that parties received and acknowledged information about possible lead-based paint hazards connected with a residential property. The completed record identifies the property, presents the applicable disclosure statements, captures required acknowledgments and signatures, and preserves a copy for the transaction file. With signNow, a sender uploads the form, reviews or places fillable fields, assigns each field to a signer, and sends the document electronically. Signers review the contents and sign; signNow then stores the completed document with an audit trail. Federal and state requirements should be checked for the transaction.

Who uses this disclosure form

Property managers

Property managers and landlords use the form to document hazard disclosures for a named rental property before the tenant completes the lease workflow. They identify the property, provide the required disclosure language, obtain tenant acknowledgment, and retain the signed record with the lease file.

Real estate parties

Real estate brokers, sellers, and buyers use the form during a residential transaction involving a covered property. The disclosure is connected to the property address and transaction record, then routed to the required parties for review, acknowledgment, and electronic signing.

Missing records

Can require corrective documentation

Privacy and disclosure pitfalls

  • The completed disclosure may expose tenant names, addresses, signatures, and hazard information when access permissions are broader than the transaction team requires.
  • A signer may complete the form without documented electronic-record consent, creating uncertainty about whether the signed disclosure can be reproduced and relied upon.
  • Shared links, downloaded copies, or forwarded email attachments can place the signed disclosure outside the organization’s controlled access environment.
  • Multiple property versions can create conflicting disclosures when staff do not identify the address, transaction, and signature date consistently.

Record-keeping practices for disclosures

A defensible record connects the property, disclosure statements, signer consent, completed form, and audit history without importing retention periods from unrelated records.

Set a property-specific retention rule

Keep the completed disclosure, signer identity evidence, consent record, and certificate of completion together with the property transaction file. Select a retention period based on the transaction, applicable state requirements, and any litigation hold; no single federal period is established here specifically for this form.

Export the audit trail

Export the signNow Audit Trail after completion and preserve it with the signed disclosure. The record should show signer actions, timestamps, and document history so the organization can explain how the electronic record was executed under ESIGN and applicable state law.

Limit access to transaction staff

Restrict access to the broker, landlord, buyer, seller, and authorized compliance staff who need the disclosure for the transaction. Use role-based permissions, avoid public links, and record any transfer of the file to another custodian.

Preserve the original signed record

Review the property address, hazard statements, signer names, and dates before sending. If a correction is needed, issue a controlled replacement rather than editing a completed record without preserving its original audit history.

Troubleshooting signed property disclosures

Resolve field, consent, evidence, plan, and privacy questions before relying on a completed Based Paint Disclosure Form in the transaction file.

The signNow Business plan includes templates, audit trails, mobile apps, and legally binding eSignatures at $8/user/month when billed annually. Review the uploaded PDF, confirm field assignments, and save the corrected template before sending the disclosure again.

Use signNow’s field assignment tools to give property-specific fields to the landlord, seller, buyer, or tenant. Auto-detected fields should be reviewed manually because a misplaced acknowledgment or signature field can associate the wrong statement with a signer.

ESIGN and UETA recognize electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record reproducibility are established. For consumer-facing records, 15 U.S.C. §7001(c) requires electronic-record disclosures and access considerations; obtain any required consent before sending.

signNow captures timestamps, signer actions, document history, and completion evidence in an Audit Trail. Export that trail with the signed disclosure and retain both records under the brokerage, landlord, or transaction policy.

Business Premium is listed at $15/user/month annually and includes bulk send and kiosk mode. Use bulk send only when each property record is independently reviewed; do not reuse one disclosure across different addresses.

HIPAA compliance requires a business associate agreement and applies to protected health information, not automatically to a property disclosure. Use access controls and encryption for personal information, while confirming any separate state privacy obligations.
