What must a property owner provide to ensure legal compliance regarding hazardous materials?

A property owner must provide a Lead-Based Paint Disclosure to ensure legal compliance regarding hazardous materials, particularly when dealing with properties built before 1978. This requirement stems from federal law, specifically the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act. The law mandates that landlords must inform tenants of any known lead-based paint hazards in a property, as lead exposure can cause serious health issues, especially in young children.

By disclosing this information, property owners fulfill their legal obligations and allow tenants to make informed decisions about the risks associated with the property. This disclosure must typically be provided before the lease is signed and includes details about any studies or inspections related to lead paint on the premises.

While other options listed, such as a Hazardous Substance Policy, Health and Safety Inspection Report, or Building Safety Compliance Certificate, may play a role in broader health and safety compliance within multifamily housing, none are specific to the statutory requirements surrounding lead-based paint hazards as mandated by federal law.
