Homes built before 1978

Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, which can pose serious health risks, especially to children and pregnant women. Lead exposure can lead to developmental issues and other health problems. In the United States, federal law requires sellers and landlords to disclose known lead hazards and provide potential buyers or renters with an EPA-approved lead hazard information pamphlet. It's advisable for anyone living in or considering purchasing an older home to have it inspected for lead and take appropriate safety measures to manage any risks.
