Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Rule

The Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Rule requires sellers and landlords of homes built before 1978 to inform potential buyers or tenants about the presence of lead-based paint and lead hazards. They must provide a disclosure form that details known lead issues and offer a pamphlet on lead safety. This rule aims to protect families, especially young children, from the harmful effects of lead exposure, which can cause serious health problems. Compliance ensures that buyers and renters are fully informed before making a property decision.
