Real Estate and Lead Safety

Real estate involves the buying, selling, and renting of properties, such as homes, commercial buildings, and land. Lead safety is an important aspect in real estate, particularly for older properties, as lead-based paint can pose health risks, especially to children. Laws require that landlords and sellers disclose any known lead hazards and provide information on lead safety. Proper management includes regular inspections, maintenance, and remediation of lead hazards to protect residents and buyers from lead poisoning, which can cause developmental issues and serious health problems. Awareness and adherence to lead safety practices are essential in real estate transactions.
