The owners, landlords, agents, and managers of rental property play an important role in protecting the health of their tenants and their tenants’ children. Homes built before 1978 are much more likely to contain lead-based paint. Under federal law, you must provide certain information about lead paint to your prospective tenants.

“Look Out for Lead” pamphlet

The Look Out for Lead – Property Owners, P-44535B (PDF) pamphlet includes information on what can be done to correct lead hazards. It’s intended for rental property owners who own a building that was built before 1978 and may be occupied by families with young children.

What landlords must provide prospective tenants of buildings built before 1978

• Anything they know about lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards in the building; this includes reports concerning common areas and other units for multi-unit buildings
• A lead disclosure attachment (PDF) (Spanish version) to the lease—or language added to the lease—that includes a “Lead Warning Statement” and confirms that the landlord has complied with the notification requirements.

Information on how landlords must maintain and renovate their property in a lead-safe manner

• A step-by-step illustration of the safety precautions you should take when painting, doing maintenance work, or renovating homes built before 1978—Lead Paint Safety: A Field Guide for Interim Controls in Painting and Home Maintenance (PDF) (Spanish version) (PDF)
