Lead paint rules lookup
Three answers in under two minutes: is the home presumed to have lead paint, what you must hand over before a lease or sale, and whether the work you have planned needs an EPA Lead-Safe Certified firm.
Not legal advice. This lookup summarizes the federal rules (24 CFR Part 35, 40 CFR Part 745) for information only. Exemptions and state or city rules can change the answer. Confirm with EPA, HUD, your state or city lead program before you rely on it.
