Landlord Question and Answer Forum
I am renting out a room in my house, which was built before 1978. The tenant has access to common areas (livingroom, kitchen, bathroom). Am I required to give the tenant a lead paint disclosure or is this considered a "zero-bedroom dwelling" (which is exempt)?
Also, where would one find any information relating to whether there is lead paint in their home?

RE: Lead Paint Disclosure Requirement
Types of housing exempted from these requirements are:
•Zero bedroom units, such as efficiencies, lofts, and dormitories.
•Housing leased for less than one hundred (100) days, such as vacation houses or short-term rentals.
•Housing for the elderly (unless children live there).
•Housing for the handicapped (unless children live there).
•Rental housing that has been inspected by a certified inspector and found to be free of lead-based paint
•Housing sold at a foreclosure sale.
BUT IF IT WERE ME, I would have a disclosure signed anyway.....to be on the safe side.

RE: Lead Paint Disclosure Requirement
I called HUD and they said that the disclosure is indeed required in this situation. I'm glad I checked.
