When It Comes to Lead Paint Disclosure, What Should Landlords Do? If you’re a landlord with a property built before 1978, it’s very likely your apartment or building contains lead-based paint. If that’s the case, you need to provide lead paint disclosure information to all of your tenants. A Brief History of Lead Paint
You already probably know that lead is an element especially hazardous to small children. Exposure to lead can cause anemia, weakness, kidney damage and even brain damage. Lead paint was first banned in the U.S. in 1978. It still exists, however, in millions of American homes, according to the EPA. It may even exist under layers of new paint sometimes making it difficult to identify. Lead paint that isn’t chipping or flaking is usually okay. But, if it’s deteriorating in any way, it can be released into dust or soak into surrounding soil.
