Lead law in MA, legal definition of "lives"

What's the liability landscape look like when, for example, grandparents have their grandchildren under 6 visit and sleep over in a non-deleaded apartment? Or what about cases where a tenant doesn't tell the landlord they have children under 6 staying for extended periods, or even living there? The laws seem to require you to delead if children under 6 live there, but is there a legal definition of what "live" means?

@Charlie MacPherson:  I was responding to @J.R. Coffin's earlier post. I was stating that simply having a tenant sign an agreement/ waiver regarding the presence of lead would not suffice in Massachusetts.  

I'm in agreement with your position.
