Explanation
The EPA's RRP Rule applies to pre-1978 buildings because lead-based paint was commonly used before it was banned for residential use in 1978. Contractors must be certified, follow lead-safe work practices, and provide renovation information to occupants. Minnesota has additional lead paint disclosure requirements for rental properties.
