Understanding Tenant Rights when There’s Lead Paint
When you rent a home or apartment, you trust that your landlord has disclosed all necessary information about the property. Unfortunately, in some cases, landlords fail to disclose important details, leaving tenants in potentially hazardous situations.

Recognizing Lead Paint Disclosure Laws
In the United States, the presence of lead-based paint in residential properties is a serious concern due to its potential health hazards, particularly for young children and pregnant women. As a result, federal and state laws require landlords to disclose the presence of lead paint in rental properties built before 1978. Failure to do so not only jeopardizes the tenants’ well-being but also violates the law.
