#3. LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS Housing built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Lead from paint, paint chips, and dust can pose health hazards if not managed properly. Lead exposure is especially harmful to young children and pregnant women. This “zero tolerance” addendum was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court as enforceable. It allows landlords to evict tenants even if they were unaware that there was criminal activity by other occupants.

Before renting pre-1978 housing, landlords must disclose the presence of known lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards in the dwelling and provide a federally approved pamphlet on lead poisoning prevention.
