Purchasing or Renting a Home
According to federal law, if you buy or
rent a home built before 1978, you have the right to know if the seller or
landlord has information about whether the home contains lead-based paint
or any lead poisoning hazards. The seller, landlord or sales agent must give you the EPA pamphlet
"Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home" or other
EPA-approved lead hazard information. They must
tell you what is known about the presence of lead-based paint
or lead-based paint hazards in the home and give you any relevant records or reports.
