Which of the following is NOT a required disclosure for a residential dwelling in Maine?

Asbestos
Malfunctions of the subsurface waste disposal system
Location of the private water supply
Location and type of insulation

The correct answer is: Location and type of insulation

In Maine, the required disclosures for residential properties focus on aspects that could significantly affect the health and safety of occupants, as well as the overall value of the property. While asbestos is a known health hazard, and the malfunction of subsurface waste disposal systems and the location of private water supplies have critical implications for safety and environmental health, the specifics regarding the location and type of insulation do not carry the same weight in terms of legal disclosure requirements. Insulation type and location are generally considered part of the home’s construction and energy efficiency features, which, although important, do not pose immediate threats to safety or property integrity in the same manner as the other disclosures. The law primarily emphasizes disclosures that directly impact the well-being of the inhabitants or could lead to substantial liability for the seller, making this aspect less critical in the context of required property disclosures in Maine.
