Provide Safe Housing for your Tenants

Lead-safe property maintenance for landlords involves regular inspections for deteriorated paintusing certified contractors for repairs in pre-1978 homesdiligently containing and cleaning work areasproviding required disclosures to tenants, and complying with all federal, state, and local laws.

Proper maintenance protects tenants from lead hazards and helps landlords avoid legal penalties. Also, tenants should have an affirmative obligation to notify landlords of any conditions needing repair.

Homes and other buildings built before 1978 are likely to contain lead-based paint. Renovation, repair or painting work done in those facilities could release hazardous lead dust which can be harmful to you and your residents.

EPA's Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule provides important protections for you and your facility, and also requires that you take certain actions to protect your residents and your business.
