1. Before buying a residential property, determine whether it was built before or after 1978. A residence built in the United States before 1978 was highly likely to contain lead paint.
2. Before renting your pre-1978 built residence to a new tenant, require the prospective tenant to disclose the names and ages of all persons who will reside in the property. Children up to age 7 are particularly vulnerable to lead paint consumption, and consequently to lead poisoning.
3. Acquire lead poisoning insurance coverage for your residential rental property.
4. Conduct initial and periodic inspections of the property using certified and licensed lead inspectors.
5.. Retain certified/licensed and insured contractors and workers with experience in the field to perform any required abatement and other renovation work on the property.
6. Maintenance of the property is very important.
7. Lawful notice to the tenant is very important.
8. Good record-keeping is very important.
9. Treat all complaints of peeling or flaking paint conditions as emergencies requiring immediate attention.
10. Know the local, state and federal laws regarding lead paint, and follow them.
