Illinois Radon Awareness Act
Just a reminder, that the new Illinois Radon Awareness Act took effect January 1, 2008. This means that every seller is required to provide two documents to a prospective buyer: a disclosure form and a pamphlet entitled "Radon Testing Guidelines for Real Estate Transactions". New radon law applies to residential sales of one to four-unit properties. The aim of the legislation is to boost awareness about radon; nothing in the Act requires a seller to test for radon or to engage in “mitigation activities
Quick Question
Must a seller disclose if he has had radon remediation done on the dwelling?
Yes. Once again, in the abundance of caution, all signs point to full disclosure. If there has been remediation, there must have been some prior test done indicating elevated radon levels. Remember that radon test results get reported to the State!
