Lead-Based Paint
Since the latter part of 1996, landlords
must provide tenants who are renting units
built before 1978 with certain information
concerning lead-based paints. This
information includes a federal government
pamphlet entitled:
• Protect Your Family From Lead in
Your Home
And a form entitled:
• Disclosure of Information on
Lead-Based Paint and/or Lead-
Based Paint Hazards (Rentals)
There are exceptions to this federal
requirement, including commercial rentals,
zero-bedroom efficiency apartments, and
rental units certified as lead-free by a
qualified lead abatement inspector. For
further information on this requirement,
contact the National Lead Information
Center Clearinghouse at 1-800-424-LEAD.
