RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LANDLORDS
1. Before renting a residential unit to a new tenant, require the prospective tenant to disclose the names and ages of all persons who will reside in the unit.
2. Inspect the residential unit with the prospective tenant and require the tenant to sign an inspection sheet confirming that each room is free of peeling, flaking, or other defective paint conditions.
3. Conduct periodic inspections of each apartment and follow the same procedure with respect to the maintenance of inspection sheets signed by tenants.
4. Treat all complaints of peeling or flaking paint conditions as emergencies requiring immediate attention.
5. Retain licensed and insured contractors with experience in the field to perform any required abatement work.
6. Paint rental units every three years and maintain copious records of all maintenance, repair, and paint work performed within each unit.
7. If denied access to a residential unit to perform an inspection or maintenance work, document the denial within the tenant's folder and follow up with a letter to the tenant confirming the failure to gain access to the apartment.
