EPA Survey.pdf
Attached is a survey that National Association of Residential Property
Managers (NARPM®) sent to members of the Association to receive input on
your request for Information on the “Disclosure of Known Lead Based Paint
and/or Lead Based Paint Hazards Upon Sale or Lease of Residential
Property.”
Members of NARPM® are residential property managers who manage properties
for other people (their clients). We hope that the feedback gathered in
this survey assists with the information the EPA is their collection of
information.
Please let us know if NARPM® can be of any assistance in the future.

How much time it takes is not the point. The point is that we are forced to distribute this document. ALL of our
leases state presence of lead based paint = unknown.

It can vary each month, year, or new cycle of requirements. We have had to chase down vendors to get them

On the Lead Based Paint Disclosure to Tenants, it would be much cleaner and easier if the owner were not
required to sign it. We already have their signature on the Duties of the Landlord form and the Lead Based Paint
Disclosure (Rentals). As the agent for the owner, we should also be able to sign this for them as we do the lease
and other disclosures.

The disclosure requirement is really a problem. I really would like to see the EPA make it easier to electronically
distribute the information OR make it legal for us to just provide a website URL for the tenant to obtain the
information. Something similar to the Megan's law disclosure in California. It's so simple that it's just built in to our
standard lease language and doesn't require distribution of a information pamphlet or tracking the tenant's
acknowledgement.

Form to the owners/sellers on how important it is to fill out the information completely. Initials and signatures.
8/19/2014 9:52 PM
27
The form should be not so strict - being able to fill it out in multi-part so all the signatures are not required to be on
the same piece of paper as in our sales contracts, would be a help. Also, if the property owner fails to sign the
document on the proper line, it should be have dire consequences to the real estate professional. Enforcement
should target those who do not get the message across, not those who sign on line 3 instead of line 4.

most tenants have little concern regarding this issue. Possibly, an awareness campaign letting tenants know
where information can be obtained would be constructive and replace that from the pamphlet. Also, in th
eensuing 36 years since most lead paint has ceased usage..I know of no owners who are aware of it being on
their property and it has been a long long time since we had to do a remediation.

don't want anything to slip through. We will not list the home until all contract addendums are completed. All
tenants are provided pamphlets at check in along with a disclosure form to sign. The agent will also sign the
form. Tenants are provided a copy of the form with their move in documents. We highlighted the areas in different
colors where the different parties are to sign to avoid confusion.

stop putting all the responsibility on the agents. Start making buyers and tenants take a course offered by the

Providing an electronic version of the how to protect your family document would be amazing! Right now we have
spent a great deal of time scanning every page of the book into a 25 page pdf document. This obviously is very
long. It would be great to have it in a smaller electronic version that can be used.

The least time-consuming and paper retention requirements as possible. What used to be a few pages has
turned into 22 to 50 pages depending on the type of agreement and buyers and sellers are really turned off by

Clarity as to where specifically on the LBP form does a landlord/owner need to INITIAL. Everyone wants to put an

The number of forms is the most prohibitive as well as printing the pamphlet. Most home owners who are selling

Pamphlet is way out of date. Lead paint and the effects of lead are present in MANY instances beyond housing.
The awareness should be universal, not limited to moving into certain properties. The older properties are
stigmatized and bear a huge financial burden to meet requirements. With lead present in some children's toys,
certain food and food containers, cosmetics, etc., it is not fair to target and assign blame upon the housing solely.

It seems like in the last 40 years most homes have been tagged with lead or not and it's kind of a very outdated
issue and most people are already aware it could be present in older homes.

Not really other than making others accountable for proper reporting of their property(ies) and vendor's for their
certifications rather than making the landlord responsible for it all. We may not be technically responsible for their
actions but if something is not to the letter of your law, we are inevitably held responsible for being educated and
for educating our clients and vendors.

Standardize disclosure nationwide. This has been in place for decades. It makes me think if cigiretts; do we really
need disclosures informing folks it is dangerous? That should be common knowledge now. Same with paint;
everyone should know to not eat paint chips and to complain if you have paint damage, regardless of where you
live or the age of the property.

Heavier regulations place a burden that is unfairly harsh on smaller operations, resulting in lower efficiencies and
greater overhead costs.

prospective tenants are provided with so much disclosures and required info that the tenants are on information
overload. They receive federal and state lead disclosures, HOA rules & regs. state lease disclosures, local lease
disclosures, security deposit disclosures, dangerous dog disclosures and other required information As a result
the tenants don't read any of it.

I think that the EPA has done enough with Lead Based Paint. Further regulations beyond what exists further
penalizes the property owner and increases the costs of housing to the current and future residents.

Tenants unknowingly bring lead based products into the property and these products leech lead into the counter
top. This make the owner liable for lead based exposure that the owner was not aware. For tenant occupied
properties lead based disclosure and distribution of the lead based pamphlet should be required to protect the
owner.

The requirements for remodeling related to lead based paint etc are burdensome and unreasonable and not
realistic or attainable by contractors in general. They serve to make the price of rental property, particularly low
end older properties higher or they are removed from the market.

Maybe it's time to see if we can stop using the disclosure. Is it still really an issue? I have been doing this for 16
years and have yet to hear of case. The disclosure doesn't change anything anyway. It another form the tenant
glances over. It doesn't prevent anyone from renting nor change and of their habits. If there is an issue, the tenant
could still sue anyway so I do not see the purpose of the disclosure.

with every action a threat to our livleyhood by the governments judged by government workers who seem never

Great example of too much regulation. To require that a property manager serve notice to a tenant when a repair
is to be done, when the property manager receives no revenue for the repair, is not fair. Why not require the
contractor to keep the records, they could then add the admin costs to the repair I think this survey is all about
making sure property managers are aware of the law.

Why the discussion of diet and other child rearing suggestions included in the Lead Based Paint pamphlet???
The pamphlet goes off course, and costs property managers money because we're bearing the cost of their
pamphlet reproduction.

electronic delivery: While I personally understand the problems and dangers with lead based problems, I will say
that Buyers and Tenants have almost no interest in this information, sign the documents, and I think based on the
reaction we receive few if any buyers or tenants actually read the handbook and most have no interest - sadly - in
the information. I think that instead of "killing a tree" with all these brochures being given out every day across the
country, that giving them a "link" to go to the booklet would be a better way to deliver the information between
computers, tablets and smart phones. Younger people all want to do things electronically - they do not want
"piles" of paper anymore. From our observation, there is very little interest in receiving the booklet - we put
everything in a packet for them before they leave and have a check list showing that they received all the
documents forms brochures etc. they are part of the leasing process. If you had a camera in the homes of people
who receive this booklet I would bet you would see thousands of these booklets tossed into the recycle bins and
sent to recycle landfills across the nation.

This is just one of many burdens placed bay regulations. One such requirement adds little to overall weight and
time of rental process and agent responsibility. But one by one, additional regulations will overwhelm and make
process very cumbersome and filled with potential for accidental omission and increased opportunity for
inefficiency and liability.

I think there are far greater home hazards that probably deserve a greater or at least equal concern that are not
even being discussed. Such a toxicity of pesticides and herbicides; VOC outgassing of building materials;
herbicides, pesticides, growth hormones, and preservatives in FDA approved food products. Also of concern is
the questionable treatment of public water. All of these are probably of a greater health impact than lead-based
paint.

Please do away with it. It protects nobody and consumers do not care about their family when they need a place
to live. If a parent cannot monitor a child eating paint chips in a home they shoudn't be parents.

We find that very few if anyone, actually read the information provided. The biggest expense is for our owners
who do not understand the importance of maintaining, repainting, and touching up any paint surfaces that might
be damaged.

I get the concept and find value in it. But we are only as good as our own personal records. I have to rely on my
staff to maintain our records. I would like something centralized where the contractors doing work and testing are
uploading information to the same database that my employees have access to.

lead paint free certification for repairs would be a great class to present to managers. Testing a house before
making repairs how to prep areas, who can do work or not and the cost of the fines related if regs not followed.

This is one of those laws that seems grossly out dated. More than 90% of my rentals were built long after this
law. And for the homes that were built in the 70s and before, they've been renovated so many times, I can't think
of a single issue arising from lead poisoning.
