Information for Renters
Before signing a lease for housing built before 1978, federal law requires landlords must disclose the presence of known lead-based paint and/or hazards in the dwelling. Renters must also receive a federally-approved pamphlet regarding lead poisoning prevention.

If you have a concern about lead in your unit, ask your landlord to get a lead hazard inspection from a certified inspector before signing your lease.
