purposes, be particularly aware and on notice if the property was built before 1978.

Under Title X, before signing or renewing a lease or rental agreement, a landlord must disclose any known lead-based paint or hazard on the property. Both the landlord and tenant must sign an EPA-approved disclosure form to prove that the landlord told the tenants about any known lead on the premises. Property owners must keep the disclaimer form as part of their records for three (3( years from the date that the tenancy begins
The landlord must also give every tenant the EPA pamphlet, " Potect Your Family From Lwad In Your Home," or a Maryland-state approved version of this pamphlet.

Residential rental landlords are advised to perform periodic inspections of all residential units, fully documenting their visual observations. The results should be compiled in an "inspection report", and the findings should be reviewed with tenants.
Tenants should sign the inspection reports, confirming their agreement with the landlord's observations. Where repairs or maintenance are necessary, the landlord should produce separate documentation providing detailed descriptions of the work performed as well as the identity of the party that performed the work.
Tenants should be asked to acknowledge in writing when maintenance or repairs have been performed, and that they were performed satisfactorily.

For an initial free consultation by way of telephone or office visit, contact the firm at (410) 730-5016 or (410) 720-6129.
For several years, Baltimore has been considered to be "ground zero" for lead paint poisoning claims and lawsuits. One of the major reasons involves the many pre-1978 built residential units in the City and surrounding communities. These residences (including apartments and houses) frequently were treated with lead-based paint on the inside as well as the outside. Another reason, among others, is the heavy industrial industries which operated previously in the metropolitan area of Baltimore; many of which used, produced or residued toxic lead(Pb). In any event, Baltimore has had a "lead problem" for a long time.
As a direct and proximate result of the above-referenced reasons, and more, Baltimore has and continues to be at the cutting edge of lead paint poisoning litigation.
If you have been sued as a landlord for lead paint poisoning, consult with us immediately. We can help you.

www.charlesjeromeware.com "Here to make a Difference. Maryland-based, Nationally-respected."
Questions And Answers About Lead (Pb) And Lead Poisoning
1. WHAT IS LEAD ?
ANSWER: Lead (Pb) is a soft, slightly sweet-tasting, bluish-white when cut (but turns dull gray when exposed to air), malleable, useful and utilitarian, heavy and toxic (neurotoxin) metal (Atomic Number 82), that has a scientific half-life of over 500,000 years, and does not dissolve in water, nor dissipate, nor decay, nor burn. As a neurotoxin, when inhaled or ingested lead (Pb) accumulates in the soft tissues and bone of the human body. The greatest source today is probably recycling of automobile batteries.
2. WHAT IS LEAD PAINT ?
ANSWER : Lead Paint (aka Lead-Based Paint or Leaded Paint) is defined as paint containing in excess of 1.0 milligram per square centimeter (mg/cm2) or 0.5 % by weight of lead (Pb). Lead-based
based paint has been popular, among other things, because of its durability and washability --- thus its popular use in homes and other buildings prior to being banned for consumer use in the United States in 1978.
3. WHAT IS LEAD POISONING ?
ANSWER: Lead Poisoning, or Plumbism, or Devon Colic, or Painter's Colic, is a type of metal poisoning and a medical condition in humans and other vertebrates caused by increased levels of the heavy metal lead (Pb) in the body.

LANDLORD LEAD PAINT POISONING DEFENSE QUESTIONS : Charles Jerome Ware, LLC
www.charlesjeromeware.com "Here to make a Difference. Maryland-based, Nationally- respected."
!. Aside from the lead-based paint used in many pre-1978 built houses and apartments, can toxic lead be inhaled or ingested from any other common source in the United States ?
ANSWER: The answer is YES. In many industrialized and/or densely-populated areas of
United States such as the Baltimore metropolitan area, toxic lead (Pb) is virtually
EVERYWHERE , including: in the air we breathe, in the water we drink and use,
in both the soil and dust, pipes and plumbing fixtures, older commercial and public
buildings, many foods and drinks we consume, many foreign-made products we use
such as toys , furniture, hobbies, jewelry and cosmetics, folk remedies, pottery and ceramics, work clothes and job sites,
factories and other industrial locations, etc.
2. What is lead ?
ANSWER: Lead is a soft, slightly sweet-tasting, malleable, useful, utilitarian, heavy earth metal
(Atomic Number 82) that dose not dissolve in water, nor decay, nor dissipate, nor
burn. Lead lasts, and lasts, and lasts. Scientists believe the scientific "half-life" of lead over 500,000 years. Lead was first mined and used in ancient societies going back to around 4,000
BC --- over 6,000 years ago. It has been mined and used prolifically throughout the
world ever since that time in a variety of purposes, including paint, cookware, food
utensils, construction work, viaducts, etc., and even by the Romans to sweeten their
wine.
3. Can you approximate, in numbers, the volume use of lead and leaded paint in the United States and the world ?
ANSWER: YES. First of all, it should be noted that lead is still being mined and used significantly in many countries in the world --- including as additives in gasoline (not in the U.S.)
and in paint (again, though, not in the U.S.). Researchers estimate that multiple millions of metric tons of lead have been used as additives in the U. S. and abroad by paint manufacturers, and that multi-billions of metric tons of lead continue to exist today in the earth's environment.
4. Is lead paint poisoning preventable ?
ANSWER : Absolutely. There are a number of steps that can, and should, be taken to prevent lead paint poisoning iii particularly in very vulnerable children under the age of 6. These numerous steps are listed by many sources, including the CDC(Centers for Disease Control), the EPA ( Environmental Protection Agency), other Federal agencies, numerous non-profit organizations, as well as many local and state agencies. Remember : lead is toxic, and thus harmful, when it is inhaled or ingested.

For an initial courtesy consultation, contact premier defense attorney Charles Ware at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. He can help you when you have been sued for lead paint poisoning.
(1) What is lead paint ?
Lead paint or lead-based paint is paint containing a defined amount of the heavy metal
(Atomic Number 82) lead (Pb).
As pigment, lead chromate (PbCrO4, "chrome yellow"), lead oxide (Pb3O4), "red lead"),
and lead carbonate (PbCO3, " white lead") are the most common forms of lead pigments.
(2) Why was lead put into paint in the first place?
Lead has been used in (added to) paint to, among other reasons, speed up the drying time,
increase durability, maintain a fresh appearance (the "shine"), and resist moisture that
causes corrosion.
(3) When was lead paint used in residences in Baltimore ?
Heavily-leaded paint was used in residences in Baltimore before the 1950s. Lead paint was banned in all Baltimore public housing in 1951, and it was outlawed in all Baltimore housing in 1966. In 1978, the Federal government (United States Consumer Product Safety Commission) banned lead-based paint in housing and in many other consumer products.
(4) When was lead removed from paint in the United States ?
For purposes of housing use, 1978 would probably be the most accurate answer; although
evidence shows there was some continued use of leaded paint in many buildings (e.g., commercial government, etc.) after that year.
(5) Is house paint currently toxic ?
It depends on the house paint. Certainly, if the house was built before 1978, it is likely
to contain some legacy (old) lead paint. It is not so likely after 1978. However, house can still
contain some toxicity. For example, toxic chemicals other than lead, such as solvents and volatile compounds, can still be found in some house paints.

LATEST UPDATE IN BALTIMORE LEAD POISONING CLAIMS : MARYLAND LANDLORD DEFENSE ATTORNEYS - Charles Jerome Ware, LLC
www.charlesjeromeware.com "Here to make a Difference."
Premier landlord lead poisoning defense attorney Charles Jerome Ware and his staff are Maryland-based and nationally-respected. For an initial courtesy consultation, contact premier defense attorney Charles Ware at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. He can help you.
In a major front page article on Sunday, February 28, 2016, in The Baltimore Sun newspaper ---
"SEEKING PAYBACK", by Luke Broadwater, it was essentially announced that a major effort was being mounted in the city to build class action cases against lead paint manufacturers who marketed and sold lead-based paint for use in residential houses for years after they knew, or should have known, of the harmful effects of lead on the human body --- and in particular, in very young children.
We view this as a good development, since the burden of lead paint liability has focus almost single-mindedly on Baltimore's residential rental landlords, not all of whom are completely at fault for this public health problem.
The good news is that lead poisoning is preventable, even though lead is virtually everywhere in the city: in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, soils, some food and drinks we consume, imported consumer products, etc. Baltimore residential rental landlords can help themselves and their tenants prevent lead poisoning claims by (1) providing GOOD MAINTENANCE on the rental, (2) providing LAWFUL NOTICE to tenants, and by (3) KEEPING GOOD RECORDS (Tenant and Property Files).

In a major front page article on Sunday, February 28, 2016, in The Baltimore Sun newspaper ---
"SEEKING PAYBACK", by Luke Broadwater, it was essentially announced that a major effort was being mounted in the city to build class action cases against lead paint manufacturers who marketed and sold lead-based paint for use in residential houses for years after they knew, or should have known, of the harmful effects of lead on the human body --- and in particular, in very young children.

LEAD INDUSTRY SHAMED ; BUT LANDLORDS BLAMED IN BALTIMORE
www.charlesjeromeware.com "Here to make a Difference."
Recently the Sunday, February 28, 2016, Baltimore Sun newspaper presented an excellent article by reporter Luke Broadwater, titled "SEEKING PAYBACK", which outlines efforts by Maryland lawyers, legislators and community advocates to push --- once again --- to hold the lead and lead paint industries responsible for generations of human damages caused by lead poisoning in the city.
These efforts are, I believe, well-grounded and important for everyone who lives in the Baltimore
metropolitan area, including many landlords for pre-1978 built apartments and houses --- who have carried the brunt, thus far, of lead paint and lead poisoning claims and lawsuits. Not every Baltimore area residential rental landlord is a slumlord. The lead and paint industries, however, are more to blame since they knew for many years the dangers of lead to humans who ingest or inhale the metal --- but continued to wreak havoc on communities with the marketing and sale of lead paint, etc., to consumers.
Sounds familiar? Think "Tobacco Industry".
