IT IS PROVIDED BY USLF TO AID THE LANDLORD IN COMPLYING WITH FEDERAL LEAD-BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE LAW, FOR DWELLINGS BUILT PRIOR TO 1978. IMPORTANT!!! NOTES CONCERNING LEAD-PAINT DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS 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 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 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."
