To inspect or not to inspect?? House may be risk for lead but not required to inspect..

I'm currently looking at a property in Baltimore Maryland that was built in 1958. From everything I read, only homes built prior to 1950 are required to have a lead inspection for tenants but properties built between 1950-1978 are still considered at risk for LBP. I would still have to give the tenants the LBP pamphlet but I could disclaim knowing if there actually is LBP or not.

What are most of you who own properties in the 1950-1978 doing in this situation? Does giving them the pamphlet and disclaimer clear us of legal risks? I'd hate to have it inspected then have to tell every tenant from then on that theres LBP.

I plan on going Section 8 if that matters.
