and the Lessee(s): _____________________________________________________________________________________.
All Lessees (hereinafter referred to collectively as “Tenant”), are jointl y, severally and individually bound by, and liable under,
the terms and conditions of this Lease.
For the valuable consideration described below, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant do
hereby covenant, contract and agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF LEASE: Landlord does hereby lease unto
Tenant, and Tenant does hereby rent from Landlord, solely
for use as a personal residence, excluding all other uses, the
personal residence located in __________________ County,
Oklahoma, with address of: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________,
including the following items of personal property:________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________. 2. NATURE OF OCCUPANCY: As a special
consideration and inducement for the granting of this Lease
by the Landlord to the Tenant, the personal residence
described above shall be used and occupied only by the
members of the Tenant’s family or others whose names and
ages are set forth below:________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
3. TERM OF LEASE: This Lease shall commence on
the ____ day of ___________________, 20____, and extend
from month to month until:
a. Either Landlord or Tenant gives the other written thirty
(30) day Notice of Termination of Lease Agreement. This
Notice of Termination need not be of any “cause”, but
rather is solely “at the will” of the party giving notice.
b. Either Landlord or Tenant gives the other a written Notice
of Default, wherein the noticed party must either cure the
breach (if cure is an option) or be terminated and vacate the
premises on or before the end of the notice period, the length
of which period will be dictated by the conditions of the
Lease or applicable law.
4. SECURITY DEPOSIT: Upon execution of this Lease,
Tenant shall deposit the sum of $___________ to be held by
Landlord as a security deposit for reasonable cleaning of, and repair of damages to, the premises upon the expiration
or termination of this Lease, or other reasonable damages
resulting from a default by Tenant. Tenant shall be liable to
Landlord for all damages to the leased premises upon the
termination of this Lease, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
Tenant is not entitled to interest on the security deposit.
Tenant may not apply the security deposit to any rent due
under this Lease. If Landlord sells or assigns the leased
premises, Landlord shall have the right to transfer Tenant’s
security deposit to the new owner or assignee to hold under
this Lease, and upon so doing Landlord shall be released
from all liability to Tenant for return of said security deposit.
In compliance with Oklahoma Residential Landlord Tenant
Act § 115:
Any damage or security deposit required by a landlord of a
tenant must be kept in an escrow account for the tenant,
which account shall be maintained in the State of Oklahoma
with a federally insured financial institution.
Upon termination of the Lease, any security deposit held by
the landlord may be applied to the payment of accrued rent
and the amount of damages which the landlord has suffered
by reason of the tenant's noncompliance with the Lease
agreement, all as itemized by the landlord in a written
statement delivered by mail to be by return receipt requested
and to be signed for by any person of statutory service age at
such address or in person to the tenant if he can reasonably
be found. If the landlord proposes to retain any portion of
the security deposit for rent, damages or other allowable
charges, the landlord shall return the balance of the security
deposit without interest to the tenant within thirty (30) days
after the termination of Lease, delivery of possession and
written demand by the tenant. If the tenant does not make
such written demand of such deposit within six (6) months
after termination of the Lease, the deposit reverts to the
landlord in consideration of the costs and burden of
maintaining the escrow account, and the interest of the
tenant in that deposit terminates at that time.
Tenant shall not apply or deduct any portion of the security
deposit from the last month's rent or use or apply such
tenant's security deposit at any time in lieu of payment of
rent.

The foregoing does not preclude the landlord or tenant from
recovering other damages to which he may be entitled under
the law. 5. RENT PAYMENTS: Tenant agrees to pay rent unto
the Landlord during the term of this Lease in equal monthly
installments of $_____________, said installment for each
month being due and payable on or before the 1st day of the
month, the first full rent payment under this Lease being due
on the 1st day of ____________________, 20____.
Tenant agrees that if rent is not paid in full on or before the
_____ day of the month, Tenant will pay a late charge of
$________ as allowed by applicable Oklahoma law.
The prorated rent from the commencement of this Lease to
the first day of the following month is $____________,
which amount shall be paid at the execution of this Lease.
Tenant agrees that rent shall be paid in lawful money of the

[ ] cash, [ ] personal check, [ ] money order,
[ ] cashier’s check, [ ] other___________________.
Rent payments shall be made payable to: ________________________________________________
and mailed or delivered to the following address: ________________________________________________

Landlord under this Lease and applicable Oklahoma law
shall be delivered to the above address.
Tenant agrees that rent monies will not be considered paid
until Landlord or Landlord’s agent receives the rent monies,
either by mail or by delivery to the above address. Tenant
placing rent monies in the mail is not sufficient for rent to be
considered paid, and rent will be considered unpaid until
actual receipt thereof.
If there are multiple Tenants signed to this Lease, all such
Tenants are jointly, severally and individually bound by, and
liable under, the terms and conditions of this Lease. A
judgment entered against one Tenant shall be no bar to an
action against other Tenants.
6. CONSEQUENCES OF BREACH BY TENANT: If
Tenant, by any act or omission, or by the act or omission of
any of Tenant’s family or invitees, licensees, and/or guests,
violates any of the terms or conditions of this Lease or any
other documents made a part hereof by reference or
attachment, Tenant shall be considered in breach of this
Lease (breach by one tenant shall be considered breach by
all tenants where Tenant is more than one person).
In compliance with Oklahoma Residential Landlord Tenant Act § 132:
A. If there is a breach by the tenant with the Lease
agreement which breach can be remedied by repair,
replacement of a damaged item, or cleaning and the tenant
fails to comply as promptly as conditions require in the case
of an emergency or within ten (10) days after written notice
served by the landlord specifying the breach and requiring
that the tenant remedy it within that period of time, the
landlord may enter the dwelling unit and cause the work to
be done in a workmanlike manner and thereafter submit the
itemized bill for the actual and reasonable cost or the fair
and reasonable value thereof as rent on the next date rent is
due, or if the Lease agreement has terminated, for immediate
payment. If the landlord remedies the breach as provided in
this subsection, the landlord may not terminate the Lease
agreement by reason of the tenant's failure to remedy the
breach.
B. If there is a material breach by the tenant with the Lease
agreement, the landlord may deliver to the tenant a written
notice specifying the acts and omissions constituting the
breach and that the Lease agreement will terminate upon a
date not less than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the notice
unless remedied within ten (10) days. If the breach is not
remedied within ten (10) days from receipt of the notice, the
Lease agreement shall terminate as provided in the notice. If
within the ten (10) days the tenant adequately remedies the
breach complained of, or if the landlord remedies the breach
as discussed in (A.) above, the Lease agreement shall not
terminate by reason of the breach. Any subsequent breach
of the lease or breach shall be grounds, upon written notice
to the tenant, for immediate termination of the lease.
C. Notwithstanding any other provisions, if there is a breach
by the tenant with the Lease agreement, which breach causes
or threatens to cause imminent and irremediable harm to the
premises or to any person and which breach is not remedied
by the tenant as promptly as conditions require after the
tenant has notice of it, the landlord may terminate the Lease
agreement by immediately filing a forcible entry and
detainer action.
D. Any criminal activity that threatens the health, safety or
right of peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other tenants
committed by a tenant or by any member of the tenant's
household or any guest or other person under the tenant's
control or is a danger to the premises and any drug-related
criminal activity on or near the premises by the tenant or by
any member of the tenant's household or any guest or other
person under the tenant's control shall be grounds for
immediate termination of the lease.
However, as per Oklahoma Residential Landlord Tenant Act
§ 131, if the breach by the Tenant is
nonpayment of rent,
Landlord may terminate the Lease agreement for failure to
pay rent when due, if the tenant fails to pay the rent within
U.S. Legal Forms, Inc. http://www.uslegalforms.com
Form OK-864-1LT
Residential Lease Agreement, Page 3
five (5) days after written notice of landlord's demand for
payment. The notice may be given before or after the
landlord files any action authorized by subsection A of this
section. Demand for past due rent is deemed a demand for
possession of the premises and no further notice to quit
possession need be given by the landlord to the tenant for
any purpose.
Tenant understands and specifically agrees, that
notwithstanding any of the above provisions relating to
the breach of the Lease, Landlord may, without any cause
whatsoever, terminate the Lease by giving the Tenant a
written thirty (30) day Notice of Termination, whereby,
on or before the conclusion of the thirty (30) day period
of notice, Tenant must vacate the premises and
surrender same to Landlord.
7. DELIVERY OF NOTICES: Any giving of notice
under this Lease or applicable Oklahoma law shall be made
by Tenant in writing and delivered to the address noted
above for the payment of rent, either by hand delivery or by
mail. Certified or registered mail is recommended. Delivery
by mail shall not be considered complete until actual receipt
by Landlord or Landlord’s agent.
Any notices from Landlord to Tenant shall be in writing and
shall be deemed sufficiently served upon Tenant when
deposited in the mail addressed to the leased premises, or
addressed to Tenant’s last known post office address, or
hand delivered, or placed in Tenant’s mailbox. If Tenant is
more than one person, then notice to one shall be sufficient
as notice to all. 8. UTILITIES: Tenant will provide and pay for the
following utilities (indicate those that apply):
[ ] Electric, [ ] Gas, [ ] Telephone, [ ] Cable
Television, [ ] Water, [ ] Garbage pick-up.
Landlord will provide and pay for the following utilities
(indicate those that apply):
[ ] Electric, [ ] Gas, [ ] Telephone, [ ] Cable
Television, [ ] Water, [ ] Garbage pick-up.
Tenant shall be responsible for contacting and arranging for
any utility service not provided by the Landlord, and for any
utilities not listed above. Tenant shall be responsible for
having same utilities disconnected on the day Tenant
delivers the leased premises back unto Landlord upon
termination or expiration of this Lease.
9. NOTICE OF INTENT TO SURRENDER: Any other
provision of this lease to the contrary notwithstanding, at
least thirty (30) days prior to the normal expiration of the
term of this Lease as noted under the heading TERM OF
LEASE above, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord
of Tenant’s intention to surrender the residence at the expiration of the Lease term. If said written notice is not
timely given, the Tenant shall become a month-to-month
tenant as defined by applicable Oklahoma law, and all
provisions of this Lease will remain in full force and effect,
unless this Lease is extended or renewed for a specific term
by written agreement of Landlord and Tenant.
If Tenant becomes a month-to-month tenant in the manner
described above, Tenant must give a thirty (30) day written
notice to the Landlord of Tenant’s intention to surrender the
residence. At any time during a month-to-month tenancy
Landlord may terminate the month-to-month Lease by
serving Tenant with a written notice of termination, or by
any other means allowed by applicable Oklahoma law.
Upon termination, Tenant shall vacate the premises and
deliver same unto Landlord on or before the expiration of
the period of notice.

and reasonable amounts of hot water at all times and
reasonable heat.
11. OBLIGATIONS AND DUTIES OF TENANT:
In compliance with the Oklahoma Residential Landlord
Tenant Act § 127, Tenant shall:
1. Keep that part of the premises which such tenant occupies

Tenant agrees that any violation of these provisions shall be
considered a breach of this Lease.
12. NO ASSIGNMENT: Tenant expressly agrees that the
leased premises nor any portion thereof shall not be assigned
or sub-let by Tenant without the prior written consent of
Landlord.
13. TENANT INSURANCE: Landlord shall not be liable
to Tenant, Tenant’s family or Tenant’s invitees, licensees,
and/or guests for damages not proximately caused by
Landlord or Landlord’s agents. Landlord will not
compensate Tenant or anyone else for damages proximately caused by any other source whatsoever, or by Acts of God,
and Tenant is therefore strongly encouraged to
independently purchase insurance to protect Tenant,
Tenant’s family, Tenant’s invitees, licensees, and/or guests,
and all personal property on the leased premises and/or in
any common areas from any and all damages.
14. CONDITION OF LEASED PREMISES:
Tenant
hereby acknowledges that Tenant has examined the leased
premises prior to the signing of this Lease, or knowingly
waived said examination. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant
has not relied on any representations made by Landlord or
Landlord’s agents regarding the condition of the leased
premises and that Tenant takes premises in its AS-IS
condition with no express or implied warranties or
representations beyond those contained herein or required by
applicable Oklahoma law. Tenant agrees not to damage the
premises through any act or omission, and to be responsible
for any damages sustained through the acts or omissions of
Tenant, Tenant’s family or Tenant’s invitees, licensees,
and/or guests. If such damages are incurred, Tenant is
required to pay for any resulting repairs at the same time and
in addition to the next month’s rent payment, with
consequences for non-payment identical to those for non-
payment of rent described herein. At the expiration or
termination of the Lease, Tenant shall return the leased
premises in as good condition as when taken by Tenant at
the commencement of the lease, with only normal wear-and-
tear excepted. Tenant shall have the right to remove from the
premises Tenant’s fixtures placed thereon by Tenant at his
expense, provided, however, that Tenant in effecting
removal, shall restore the leased premises to as good, safe,
sound, orderly and sightly condition as before the addition of
Tenant’s fixture. Failing this, Tenant shall be obligated to
pay for repairs as stated above.
15. ALTERATIONS: Tenant shall make no alterations,
decorations, additions, or improvements to the leased
premises without first obtaining the express written consent
of Landlord. Any of the above-described work shall become
part of the dwelling. If carried out by independent
contractors, said contractors must be approved by Landlord.
Tenant shall not contract for work to be done without first
placing monies sufficient to satisfy the contract price in an
escrow account approved by Landlord. All work shall be
done at such times and in such manner as Landlord may
designate. If a construction or mechanic’s lien is placed on
the leased premises as a result of the work, such shall be
satisfied by Tenant within ten (10) days thereafter at
Tenant’s sole expense. Tenant shall be considered in breach
of this Lease upon failure to satisfy said lien.
16. NO ILLEGAL USE: Tenant shall not perpetrate,
allow or suffer any acts or omissions contrary to law or
ordinance to be carried out upon the leased premises or in
any common area. Upon obtaining actual knowledge of any
illegal acts or omissions upon the leased premises, Tenant
U.S. Legal Forms, Inc. http://www.uslegalforms.com
Form OK-864-1LT
Residential Lease Agreement, Page 5
agrees to immediately inform Landlord and the appropriate
authorities. Tenant shall bear responsibility for any and all
illegal acts or omissions upon the leased premises and shall
be considered in breach of this Lease upon conviction of
Tenant or any of Tenant’s family or invitees, licensees,
and/or guests for any illegal act or omission upon the leased
premises- whether known or unknown to Tenant.
17. NOTICE OF INJURIES: In the event of any
significant injury or damage to Tenant, Tenant’s family, or
Tenant’s invitees, licensees, and/or guests, or any personal
property, suffered in the leased premises or in any common
area, written notice of same shall be provided by Tenant to
Landlord at the address designated for delivery of notices
(identical to address for payment of rent) as soon as possible
but not later than five (5) days after said injury or damage.
Failure to provide such notice shall constitute a breach of
this Lease.
18. LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO MORTGAGE: Tenant
agrees to accept the premises subject to and subordinate to
any existing or future mortgage or other lien, and Landlord
reserves the right to subject premises to same. Tenant agrees
to and hereby irrevocably grants Landlord power of attorney
for Tenant for the sole purpose of executing and delivering
in the name of the Tenant any document(s) related to the
Landlord’s right to subject the premises to a mortgage or
other lien.
19. DELAY IN REPAIRS: Tenant agrees that if any
repairs to be made by Landlord are delayed by reasons
beyond Landlords control, there shall be no effect on the
obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
20. ABANDONMENT: Abandonment shall be defined as
the absence of the Tenant from the leased premises for a
period of seven (7) or more consecutive days while rent or
any owing monies remain unpaid- whereupon Tenant will be
considered in breach of this Lease. This definition is
subordinate to, and shall not in any way impair, the rights
and remedies of Landlord under this Lease or applicable
Oklahoma law, except that in case of abandonment,
Landlord or Landlord’s agents may immediately or any time
thereafter enter and re-take the leased premises as provided
by applicable Oklahoma law, and terminate this Lease
without notice to Tenant.
21. NOTICE OF ABSENCE FROM PREMISES: If
Tenant is to be absent from the leased premises for seven (7)
or more consecutive days, written notice of such should be
served upon Landlord. If such absences are to be customary
or frequent, the expected frequency and duration of absence
should be summarily noted here: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Tenant expressly agrees and understands that absence from the premises, with or without notice, in no way obviates the
requirement to pay rent and other monies as stated herein, or
the consequences of failure to timely pay same.
22. POSSESSION OF PREMISES:
Tenant shall not be
entitled to possession of the premises designated for lease
until the security deposit and first month’s rent (or prorated
portion thereof), less any applicable promotional discount, is
paid in full and the premises designated for lease is vacated
by the prior tenant.
23. DELAY OF POSSESSION: Tenant expressly agrees
that if by reason of the premises being unready for
occupancy, or by reason of the previous tenant or occupant
of the dwelling holding over, or as a result of any other
cause whatsoever, Tenant is unable to enter and occupy the
premises, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant in damages,
but shall abate the rent for the period in which the Tenant is
unable to occupy the premises.
24. MATERIALITY OF APPLICATION TO RENT:
All representations made by Tenant(s) on the Application to
Rent (or like-titled document) are material to the grant of
this Lease, and the Lease is granted only on condition of the
truthfulness and accuracy of said representations. If a failure
to disclose or lack of truthfulness is discovered on said
Application, Landlord may deem Tenant to be in breach of
this Lease.
25. MODIFICATION OF THIS LEASE: Any
modification of this lease shall not be binding upon Landlord
unless in writing and signed by Landlord or Landlord’s
authorized agent. No oral representation shall be effective to
modify this Lease. If, as per the terms of this paragraph, any
provision of this lease is newly added, modified, or stricken
out, the remainder of this Lease shall remain in full force
and effect.
26. REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE: The remedies and
rights contained in and conveyed by this Lease are
cumulative, and are not exclusive of other rights, remedies
and benefits allowed by applicable Oklahoma law.
27. SEVERABILITY: If any provision herein, or any
portion thereof, is rendered invalid by operation of law,
judgment, or court order, the remaining provisions and/or
portions of provisions shall remain valid and enforceable
and shall be construed to so remain.
28. NO WAIVER: The failure of Landlord to insist upon
the strict performance of the terms, covenants, and
agreements herein shall not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment of Landlord's right thereafter to enforce any
such term, covenant, or condition, but the same shall
continue in full force and effect. No act or omission of
Landlord shall be considered a waiver of any of the terms or
conditions of this Lease, nor excuse any conduct contrary to
U.S. Legal Forms, Inc. http://www.uslegalforms.com
Form OK-864-1LT
Residential Lease Agreement, Page 6
the terms and conditions of this Lease, nor be considered to
create a pattern of conduct between the Landlord and Tenant
upon which Tenant may rely upon if contrary to the terms
and conditions of this Lease.
29. ATTORNEY FEES: In the event that Landlord
employees an attorney to collect any rents or other charges
due hereunder by Tenant or to enforce any of Tenant's
covenants herein or to protect the interest of the Landlord
hereunder, Tenant agrees to pay a reasonable attorney's fee
and all expenses and costs incurred thereby.
30. HEIRS AND ASSIGNS: It is agreed and understood
that all covenants of this lease shall succeed to and be
binding upon the respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and, except as provided herein, assigns of the
parties hereto, but nothing contained herein shall be
construed so as to allow the Tenant to transfer or assign this
lease in violation of any term hereof.
31. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES: In the event the
leased premises shall be destroyed or rendered totally
untenable by fire, windstorm, or any other cause beyond the
control of Landlord, then this Lease shall cease and
terminate as of the date of such destruction, and the rent
shall then be accounted for between Landlord and Tenant up
to the time of such damage or destruction of said premises as
if being prorated as of that date. In the event the leased
premises are damaged by fire, windstorm or other cause
beyond the control of Landlord so as to render the same
partially untenable, but repairable within a reasonable time,
then this lease shall remain in force and effect and the
Landlord shall, within said reasonable time, restore said
premises to substantially the condition the premises were in
prior to said damage, and there shall be an abatement in rent
in proportion to the relationship the damaged portion of the
leased premises bears to the whole of said premises.
32. EMINENT DOMAIN: In the event that the leased
premises shall be taken by eminent domain, the rent shall be
prorated to the date of taking and this Lease shall terminate
on that date.
33. LANDLORD ENTRY: In addition to the rights
provided by applicable Oklahoma law, Landlord shall have
the right to enter the leased premises at all reasonable times
for the purpose of inspecting the same and/or showing the
same to prospective tenants or purchasers, and to make such
reasonable repairs and alterations as may be deemed
necessary by Landlord for the preservation of the leased
premises or the building and to remove any alterations,
additions, fixtures, and any other objects which may be
affixed or erected in violation of the terms of this Lease.
Landlord shall give reasonable notice of intent to enter
premises except in the case of an emergency.
34. GOVERNING LAW: This Lease is governed by the statutory and case law of the State of Oklahoma.
35. LEAD-BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE:
HOUSING
BUILT BEFORE 1978 MAY CONTAIN LEAD-BASED
PAINT. LEAD FROM PAINT, PAINT CHIPS, AND
DUST CAN POSE HEALTH HAZARDS IF NOT
MANAGED PROPERLY. LEAD EXPOSURE IS
ESPECIALLY HARMFUL TO YOUNG CHILDREN
AND PREGNANT WOMEN. BEFORE RENTING
PRE-1978 HOUSING, LESSORS MUST DISCLOSE
THE PRESENCE OF KNOWN LEAD-BASED PAINT
AND/OR LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS IN THE
DWELLING. LEASEES MUST ALSO RECEIVE A
FEDERALLY APPROVED PAMPHLET ON LEAD
POISONING PREVENTION.
Landlord states as follows: [Landlord check one]
The leased premises was constructed in 1978 or later.
The leased premises was constructed prior to 1978. Landlord has conformed with all federal requirements
regarding lead-based paint disclosure including the
completion and mutual signing with Tenant and any
agents, of the Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Form
attached hereto and incorporated into this lease as a part
hereof. All associated information required by the
Disclosure form (if any) was furnished to Tenant, and
Tenant received the EPA pamphlet “ Protect Your
Family from Lead in Your Home. ”

THIS IS A SEPARATE INSTRUCTION PAGE REGARDING LEAD-BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE
THIS PAGE IS NOT PART OF THE LEASE. IT IS PROVIDED BY USLF TO AID THE
LANDLORD IN COMPLYING WITH FEDERAL LEAD-BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE
LAW, FOR DWELLING UNITS BUILT PRIOR TO 1978.
IMPORTANT!!! NOTES CONCERNING LEAD-PAINT DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Introduction: If the rental 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/landlord and
lessee/tenant. 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 the 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 and 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 form (the lessees/renters 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.)
Purchase the Disclosure Form: If you need to purchase a Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Form, you can easily
do so using USLF.
http://www.uslegalforms.com/lead-paint-disclosure-forms.htm Click this link (or copy it into
the address window of you internet browser) and select your state. Two forms will be accessed. You want the
“LEAD2” form, for rental transactions (not the “LEAD1” form for sales). Click the “Information and Preview”
link for more info on the form, and then order the form.
The Free EPA Pamphlet: The landlord must give the tenants the EPA-approved information pamphlet on
identifying and controlling lead-based paint hazards entitled "Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home."
You may obtain and print this pamphlet free by clicking the following download link (or copying the link into
the address window of your internet browser):
