Lead-Based Paint Disclosure
The federal requirement that sellers and landlords of pre-1978 housing disclose known lead hazards, provide an EPA pamphlet, and allow a 10-day inspection.
Federal law requires that for housing built before 1978, the seller or landlord disclose any known lead-based paint or hazards, provide the buyer or tenant with an EPA-approved pamphlet, and include a warning in the contract.
A buyer must be given a 10-day period to conduct a lead inspection or risk assessment, although the buyer may waive it. Housing built in 1978 or later is exempt.
