Defending landlords against lead paint poisoning can be a difficult task. But, it is certainly not impossible. We do it successfully all the time. A couple of lead paint disclosure laws that every residential landlord in Baltimore and D.C. should be familiar with are as follows:


(1) The Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, commonly known as TITLE X, attempts to reduce the number of lead poisoning victims in the United States.  TITLE X is enforced by the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) and it enforces regulations related to TITLE X to rental property buildings that were constructed prior to 1978.


(2) The Real Estate Notification Rule of 1996, also referred to as the " Lead Disclosure Rule", is a right-to-know law that requires notification and disclosure of certain lead-based paint information to tenants by landlords.


Both Federal rules are very important for every residential landlord to familiarize himself or herself with.
