Log in for pricing
Before ratification of a contract for housing sale or lease, sellers and landlords must give an EPA-approved information booklet on identifying and controlling lead-based paint hazards, called the "Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home" booklet.
Congress passed the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, also known as Title X, to protect families from exposure to lead from paint, dust, and soil. Section 1018 of this law directed HUD and EPA to require the disclosure of known information on lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards before the sale or lease of most housing built before 1978.
This insert includes updates made by the EPA on March 8, 2021 and should be used when distributing the Lead Paint Booklet.
