Questions from lead inspectors
Got an email from us? Here's how LeadSafeRules works, in plain terms. Still have a question? Talk to us.
How quote requests work
- Landlords check their deadline. They look up their city's lead-safe rule, due date and fines.
- They ask for inspector quotes. On our quotes page, with a consent box.
- We send it to the Featured firms in that city. Never more than 3. You reply to the landlord directly. See a sample lead.
Common questions
How do quote requests reach my firm?
Landlords and property managers use LeadSafeRules to check their lead-safe deadline. When they are due, they ask for inspector quotes on our quotes page and tick a consent box. Each request goes only to the Featured firms in their city, never more than 3. A copy comes to us. If a city has no Featured firm yet, the request comes only to us.
What does Featured cost?
Founding rate: $29 a month per city, locked for life while you stay subscribed, for the first 25 inspectors. After that, Featured is $49 a month per city. Featured is limited to 3 firms per city.
Do I pay per lead?
No. Featured is a flat monthly price per city. No per-lead fees.
What if I get no leads?
60-day lead guarantee: zero leads in your first 60 days of Featured earns you one free month. Once per company. We review the account, then apply the credit to your next renewal.
Is there a contract? Can I cancel?
No contract. Cancel anytime. We email you before every renewal. We confirm your license before your listing goes live (usually within 1 business day); if we can't, you get a full refund.
Is a basic listing free?
Yes. A verified listing is free forever: we check your license against the state registry, and you get a verified badge for your own website.
Is my area covered?

Is this legit? Who runs it?
LeadSafeRules is an independent guide run from N3217 Mistle Road, Lake Geneva, WI 53147. Email [email protected]. Every rule page links its official city or state source and shows the date we last checked it. Inspector listings come from official state registries. Payments go through Stripe. LeadSafeRules is not a government website.
