What the Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Pamphlet is and when it applies

The Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Pamphlet explains lead hazards and documents required disclosures for housing built before 1978. Sellers and landlords must provide the pamphlet and any known reports or records about lead-based paint before a buyer signs a sales contract or a tenant signs a lease. The pamphlet accompanies a written disclosure that records known lead information and notifies recipients of their right to a risk assessment or inspection.

Why the pamphlet matters for sellers, landlords, and occupants

Providing the pamphlet ensures prospective buyers and tenants know about lead risks, preserves legal compliance with federal lead-disclosure rules, and reduces the risk of later disputes by documenting notice and enabling inspection or remediation decisions.
