In this arena of lead-paint poisoning litigation, there exists a fact that we like to emphasize to all landlords --- particularly to our clients in Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, D.C. That fact is :
As the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has repeated stated ; Lead paint,
if it is well maintained and intact, typically poses no health risk.
The message, therefore, is simple for landlords : maintenance, maintenance , maintenance !
A documented well-maintained rental unit by the landlord is a substantial defense to a lead-paint poisoning case.
The EPA further stresses the enforcement of current law requiring property owners to keep their properties in a safe condition and free of lead hazards; stating this is the best way to reduce elevated blood lead levels in children.
Under the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, landlords and sellers of residential units are required to disclose information on lead paint to prospective renters and buyers on al pre- 1978 housing.
Maintenance. Maintenance. Maintenance.
