Lead Paint Related question for rental
Hello
I own my MF rental Home (3units) in CT about 1yr. I recently learned that landlord has to have certificate of lead paint to protect from any law suit. The CT EPA rule related to Lead paint mentions "age under 6". In our lease form, tenant says, tenant's kid is 6 yrs old. So if the kid is 6 yrs old, then do i still need to concern and try to get certificate of lead free? Or, if the kid is 6yr old, then I don't need to worry as the kid is already 6 yrs old. To get lead paint free certificate, It will be long process to hire contractor and do abatement so if not needed, I would skip. But same time, I don't want to be in trouble in the future. I am thinking old MF home is not easy to manage and start thinking if i should sell (although if i can keep it, it will be much better....) I really appreciate some advice !! Thanks
