Description

This is a Lead-Based Paint Disclosure form required for the rental of residential dwellings. If the rental unit was constructed PRIOR TO 1978, this form is REQUIRED to be completed and signed by the lessor/landlord and lessee/tenant. If the rental dwelling was constructed in 1978 or later, this form is not required. If in doubt about the timing of construction, use the disclosure form. Whenever the form is used, the landlord must also give the tenant the EPA pamphlet discussed below.

Lead paint disclosure date refers to the date when a seller or a landlord is required by law to disclose the presence of lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards in a residential property. This requirement is primarily mandated in the United States under the federal law called the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, commonly known as Title X. The lead paint disclosure date is an essential part of protecting the health and safety of residents, particularly young children who are more susceptible to the harmful effects of lead exposure. The disclosure date ensures that potential buyers or tenants are informed about the risks associated with lead-based paint in a property before signing a lease or purchasing a home. There are two main types of lead paint disclosure dates: pre-1978 disclosure and post-1978 disclosure. 1. Pre-1978 lead paint disclosure: This type of disclosure applies to properties built before 1978 when the use of lead-based paint was prevalent. Sellers or landlords of such properties are legally obligated to provide a lead paint disclosure form and give potential buyers or tenants a ten-day opportunity to conduct a lead-based paint assessment or inspection. The disclosure form includes information such as the known presence of lead-based paint, hazards, and available reports or records related to lead-based paint. 2. Post-1978 lead paint disclosure: For properties constructed after 1978, the lead paint disclosure date is not applicable as the federal government banned the use of lead-based paint in residential buildings. However, it's important to note that if a pre-1978 property has undergone substantial renovation or lead-based paint has been removed, the disclosure requirements may still apply. Compliance with lead paint disclosure regulations is crucial to avoid legal issues and liability. Non-compliance can result in penalties imposed by government agencies, fines, or potential lawsuits. Buyers or tenants have the right to rescind a contract or sue for damages if the required lead paint disclosures have not been provided. In summary, the lead paint disclosure date is the designated time frame in which sellers or landlords must disclose the presence of lead-based paint or hazards in a residential property. Pre-1978 and post-1978 lead paint disclosure requirements cater to different eras of construction, ensuring potential occupants are informed about potential lead exposure risks.
