Lead paint poisoning cases these days are most frequently brought by residential rental tenants against their landlords. The residential rental properties are most commonly pre-1978 constructed houses and apartments. That is the case because these homes are the ones more likely to contain lead-based paint. The Federal government banned consumer use of lead-based paint in 1978, thus
outlawing lead paint for residential use in the United States.
There are numerous lead and lead paint local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations that landlords should be aware of, and follow, before purchasing and when renting pre-1978 residential properties. Certified lead inspection as well as licensed, professional maintenance of these properties
is necessary; lawful notice to tenants is crucial; and diligent, organized record-keeping on tenants and the property is very helpful. These records should be maintained , I recommend, for at least 21 years after each tenancy begins.
