renovating pre1978 housing:
FOR RENT LANDLORDS will have to disclose known information on
lead based paint hazards before leases take effect. Leases will include a federal form about leadbased
paint.
FOR SALE SELLERS will have to disclose known information on leadbased paint hazards before selling
a house. Sales contracts will include a federal form about leadbased paint in the building. Buyers will
have up to 10 days to check for lead hazards.
