Because of the health problems connected with lead poisoning in Baltimore and other major metropolitan areas in the Northeast United States, the Residential Lead-Based Hazard Reduction Act was enacted in 1992. This law is commonly known as Title X (Ten). Environmenta Protection Agency (EPA) regulations implementing Title X apply to rental property (houses and apartments) 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.
