Rhode Island Seller Disclosure
Rhode Island sellers must provide the Seller's Property Disclosure Statement covering all known material defects. The form covers structural, mechanical, environmental, and legal disclosures.
Key sections
Septic and Well Disclosure
If your property has a private septic system, Rhode Island requires a Title 5-equivalent inspection within 2 years of sale (or at time of listing). Disclose all known information about well condition, flow rate, and water quality test results.
Attorney Close
Rhode Island requires a licensed attorney at closing. Your attorney will handle the deed, title search, escrow, and disbursement. Choose an attorney early — they'll review the purchase agreement and protect you through the process.
Penalties for Non-Disclosure
Failure to disclose known material defects can result in post-closing claims, rescission of sale, or lawsuits for damages. When in doubt, disclose — it protects you legally and builds buyer trust.
