My property was built prior to 1978 and now the Rental program is requiring me to have a Lead Risk Assessment (also known as Lead Based Paint Risk Assessment) conducted. What should I do?
We advise you to spend a few hours preparing your property to increase the likelihood that you will pass the Risk Assessment. The key steps involve making sure that no painted surfaces are chipping or flaking, that any construction debris is removed from the site, and that you have thoroughly wet-cleaned all surfaces and vacuumed with a High Efficiency or other high-quality vacuum cleaner.
