Property Management

A Minnesota landlord owns a building built in 1975. A prospective tenant with children is applying to rent. What disclosure must the landlord make regarding potential lead paint hazards?

ANo disclosure is required since the building is post-1960
BThe EPA lead paint disclosure form and pamphlet must be provided✓ Correct
COnly disclose if actual lead paint testing has been done
DLead paint disclosure is only required for buildings built before 1940

Explanation

Federal law requires landlords of pre-1978 housing to provide the EPA-approved 'Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home' pamphlet and disclose any known lead paint hazards before tenants or buyers sign a lease or purchase agreement. This applies to all pre-1978 buildings regardless of actual testing. Minnesota landlords must comply with this federal requirement.
