1. Remember that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has stated that "undisturbed" lead paint, alone, is usually not harmful to the body.
2. Remember that it is usually "disturbed" (chipped, peeled, cracked, and otherwise lead paint, as well as lead dust) lead paint that can be harmful to the body.
3. Therefore, remember that proper maintenance of the lead paint and other areas of the residential unit (home) is critical to avoiding a successful lead lawsuit against you.
4. Always use lead-certified professionals or workers to do all repairs and renovations on the property.
5. The 'property" also includes the soil on or in the residential unit.
