Landlords, Management Companies and Property Owners........ You must provide all prospective tenants with an official notice outlining the hazards of lead poisoning on a form prepared by your State Department of Public Health for all housing built before 1978. You must also enclose a copy of the most recent lead inspection report for the unit if there has been one, a letter of Interim Control if immediate steps are being taken to control the lead paint, or a letter of Compliance indicating that any necessary de-leading measures have been taken.
Tenants must be asked to sign a statement certifying that they have received these materials. This is required whether or not the tenants have children under the age of 6. Tenant notification forms can be obtained free of charge from the State Department of Public Health.
This notification requirement parallels the tenant notification requirements under Title X, a comprehensive federal lead poisoning prevention law signed by President George H.W. Bush in 1992.
