Explanation
Federal law (the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act) requires sellers and landlords of housing built before 1978 to disclose known lead-based paint hazards, provide an EPA pamphlet on lead hazards, and allow buyers a 10-day inspection period for lead testing. Illinois follows federal requirements. Lead paint is particularly hazardous to children under 6.
