children and pregnant women. Before renting pre-1978 housing, landlords must disclose the presence of known lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards in the dwelling. Tenants must also
receive a Federally approved pamphlet on lead poisoning prevention. |

| To protect the public from exposure to lead from paint, dust, and soil, Congress passed the Residential
Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, also known as Title x. Section 1018 of this law directed HUD
and EPA to require disclosure of information on lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards before the sale or
lease of most housing built before 1978. The rule would ensure that purchasers and renters of housing built
before 1978 receive the information necessary to protect themselves and their families from lead-based paint
hazards. |

| Children get lead poisoning when they eat bits of paint that contain lead. Older houses often have
layers of lead paint on the walls, ceilings, and woodwork. When the paint chips off or when the
plaster breaks, there is possible danger for babies and young children. Outdoors, lead paints and
primers may have been used in many places, such as walls, fences, and porches. |
