The lead-based paint disclosure is a federally-mandated document required to be given to potential home buyers and tenants of residential homes built before 1978 to reveal whether lead-based paint exists on the property.
The danger of lead-based paint occurs after the paint chips, in which case the dust can be easily inhaled by humans. The chips are especially dangerous to infants and children. While homes that do/could contain lead-based paint do not need to be repainted, the individuals who live on the property need to be aware of the risk if the paint starts to chip or crack.
