If your Rental Property was Built Before 1978, you MUST give this Lead Based Paint Disclosure to a prospective tenant before entering into a contract with a potential tenant.  We suggest you read lines 171 - 182 of the AAR Residential Lease Agreement.  You should also provide a copy of "Protect Your Family from Lead in your Home."  There is also a Lead Brochure that will help educate yourself and your tenant about Lead.
