Lead Disclosure Rule

The Lead Disclosure Rule is a regulation aimed at protecting people, especially families with young children, from lead exposure in homes. It requires sellers and landlords of properties built before 1978 to inform buyers and renters about the presence of lead-based paint and related hazards. They must provide a detailed disclosure form and a pamphlet about lead safety before signing any contracts. This rule helps ensure that individuals are aware of potential health risks associated with lead, promoting safer living environments and encouraging preventative measures against lead exposure.
