When it comes to real estate both the seller and the buyer are required to fill out the state and federal lead paint notification if the house was built prior to 1978. There is a loop hole for the seller and that is they can check off that it is Unknown to them of lead paint.

Also any property owner of rental properties must do the same in which a child under six years old lives. And if the owner fails to delead and a child is lead poisoned the property owner is strictly liable for all damages.

Property owner can not discriminate against a family of a child under six if they can afford the rent.
