EPA and HUD Propose New Regulations for Lead-Based Paint Disclosure in Housing

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) are proposing new regulations requiring the disclosure of information about lead-based paint in housing. The proposed rule would require sellers and landlords to inform potential buyers and renters about the presence of lead-based paint and hazards, and to provide a pamphlet on the risks associated with lead-based paint. The regulations would also require a 10-day inspection period before a contract is signed, and a standard warning form to be attached to all leases and sales contracts.
