LEAD BASED PAINT

 

Federal law requires that in any real estate transaction involving the sale of a home that was built before 1978 the seller disclose this to the buyer in writing. 

Lead based paint was in widespread use before 1978. 

The EPA requires that their booklet be given to and read by the buyer, and that their form be filled out and signed by both seller and buyer.
