COMPLYING WITH FEDERAL LEAD -BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE LAW, FOR DWELLINGS BUILT PRIOR TO

IMPORTANT!!!
NOTES CONCERNING LEAD -PAINT DISCLOSURE REQUI REMENTS
Introduction: If the dwelling unit was constructed PRIOR TO 1978, federal law REQUIRES a Lead -Based
Paint Disclosure Form to be attached to the lease, completed and signed by the lessor and lessee. If the rental
dwelling was constructed in 1978 or later, this form is not required. If in doubt about the timing of construction,
use the disclosure form. Whenever the form is used, the landlord must also give the tenant the EPA lead -based
paint pamphlet discussed below. Landlords must retain a copy of t he signed disclosure form for no less than
three years from the date the lease begins.
Background: To protect families from exposure to lead from paint, dust, and soil, Congress passed the
Residential Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992. HUD an d EPA require the disclosure of known
information on lead -based paint and related hazards before the lease of most housing built before 1978.
Requirements: Before the lease is signed and agreed to, landlords must fully comply with lead -paint disclosure
law. Compliance is accomplished by:
(1) Fully completing and delivering to the tenants, as an attachment to the lease, the LEAD -BASED PAINT
DISCLOSURE forms for lessees and (the lessees also initial and sign this form), and
(2) Giving the tenants the EPA pamphlet entitled "Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home." (See the
download link for the pamphlet, below), and
