Are Any Lead Disclosures Required Before a Landlord Renovates Rental Property? on iPropertyManagement.com

Under the EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule (40 CFR Part 745), landlords and renovators must follow strict notification timelines and use the correct documentation for buildings constructed before 1978.

Key Compliance Requirements

  • The Pamphlet: You must provide the EPA pamphlet “Renovate Right”. Note that “Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home” is for lease signings, not renovations.

  • Timeline: Information must be distributed no more than 60 days before work begins. Work cannot start until the tenant has received the materials.

  • Occupied Units: You must give the pamphlet to an adult occupant and obtain a written acknowledgment of receipt.

  • Common Areas: You must provide written notice to every unit in the building or post clearly visible informational signs. Notices must describe the nature, location, and expected dates of the work.

  • Recent Updates: As of January 12, 2026, the EPA has lowered “Dust-Lead Action Levels” to any reportable level of lead. This makes lead-safe work practices and HEPA-certified cleaning mandatory for almost any disturbance of paint.
