There is no safe level of lead exposure, particularly for children. EPA has released updated sample lead disclosure forms that will give renters and homebuyers clearer and more specific information about lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards in pre-1978 housing they are considering buying or renting. The updated forms 1) ask landlords and sellers to describe what is known about the presence of lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards in the housing, and 2) allow renters or buyers to indicate whether or not they received all records and reports relating to lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards. 

If you have bought or leased pre-1978 housing and did not receive a disclosure of information on lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards form, report this disclosure violation to epa.gov/lead/violation or leadregulations@hud.gov
