IT'S A FEDERAL LAW -- ARE YOU IN COMPLIANCE?
Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule (RRP)  Effective April 22, 2010 

Property owners who renovate, repair, or prepare surfaces for painting in pre-1978 rental housing or space rented by child-care facilities must, BEFORE beginning work, provide tenants with a copy of EPA's lead hazard information pamphlet Renovate Right: Important Lead Hazard Information for Families, Child Care Providers, and Schools. Owners of these rental properties must also document compliance with this requirement. EPA's sample pre-renovation disclosure form may be used for this purpose. 

After April 22, 2010, Property Owners who perform these projects in pre-1978 rental housing or space rented by child-care facilites must be certified and follow the lead-safe work practices required by EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule.  Read more about EPA's rules and lead-safe work practices in EPA's pamphlet, Contractors: Lead Safety During Renovation.

Property Owners who perform renovation, repairs, and painting jobs in rental property should:

Take training to learn how to perform lead-safe work practices. Learn the lead laws that apply to you regarding certification and lead-safe work practices beginning April 2010.

Keep records to demonstrate that you and your workers have been trained in lead-safe work practices and that you followed them on the job.

Keep in mind, the RRP rule applies to trades working for rental property owners, schools, and daycare providers. (carpenters, electricians, plumbers, painters & handymen)

To make recordkeeping easier, you may use the sample recordkeeping checklist the EPA has developed to help contractors comply with the renovation recordkeeping requirements.
