( Protect Your Family from Lead In Your Home) , or an EPAapproved equivalent. Owners are required to document that the tenant was given a copy of the pamphlet before signing the lease.

NOTE: The Lead Hazard Information Pamphlet distributed to meet the Disclosure Rule requirement is the same pamphlet distributed for other lead-based paint requirements (e.g., the Lead-Based Paint Pre-Renovation Education Rule). It does not have to be distributed twice, so long as you can document that it has been provided.

b. Disclosure form. Owners must include the disclosure form in the lease packet and obtain the prospective tenant's signature before he or she signs the lease. (Exhibit 6-3 contains a copy of the Disclosure Form.) The disclosure form is designed to document receipt of the Lead Hazard Information Pamphlet and to meet three disclosure requirements, as follows:

  • (1) Disclose the presence of known lead based paint/hazards. Owners of target housing must disclose the presence of known lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards. The disclosure form has a line for owners to mark to verify that lead-based paint/hazards have been disclosed.

  • (2) Disclose information on lead-based paint/hazards. Owners must provide applicants with any available records or reports pertaining to the presence of lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards. Owners must provide applicants with procedures to obtain access to any available records or reports pertaining to the presence of lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards. The disclosure form has a line for owners to mark to verify that copies of all relevant records and reports have been provided to the applicant. The form also documents if there are no records or reports available.

  • (3) Include contract language. Leasing contracts must include a Lead Warning Statement and an acknowledgment section to be signed by the prospective tenant, the owner and any agent. The owner must present the disclosure form signed by the owner and the Lead Hazard Information Pamphlet to the prospective tenant before the tenant signs the lease. The disclosure form has the Lead Warning Statement printed at the top and a place at the bottom for the applicant to sign acknowledging disclosure and receipt of the Lead Hazard Information Pamphlet.

  • (4) Recommended practice. The tenant briefing is an ideal time to provide applicants with the Lead Hazard Information Pamphlet and to give them the opportunity to
