Lead paint

[Kevin Brewer]

Hello Bigger Pockets!!!!!  I am a newbie and only have 1 rental property at the current time. I bought the property as a residence for my daughter when she was a student at The University of Oklahoma.  Since she graduated 2 years ago and the property is over 200 miles from where I live, I want to sell the property and reinvest the equity in starting my business here in North Texas.  My question is that homes built prior to 1978 probably have a lead based paint.  As a landlord, what is my responsibility regarding a property that I own containing a lead based paint.  Is there a sealer?  Is painting over the lead based paint sufficient?  I certainly would not want a nightmare with the first property that I buy in my local area and would absolutely not want to injure a child because of my negligence.  Any responses would be very educational for me.  Thanks everyone.
