- Chapter 3: The Agency Law Disclosure. The updated statutory Agency Law Disclosure and confirmation provision went into effect the beginning of 2019.

However, lease transactions greater than one year are targeted transactions requiring the disclosure. For a thorough analysis of the new disclosure and confirmation practices, see the digital eBook version of the book.
