Lead Paint in a rental unit.
I received a notice from a Health Department that one of our units has a Lead Paint. The apartment was tested and it seems the doors, door jambs, windows, window trims, porch and back staircase are all painted and have lead paint. The house is over 100 years old. Currently, the apartment is rented to a tenant with little kids where one of the kids tested high for lead paint. Tenants lease expired 2 months ago. It seems it will take some time to replace majority of the windows, doors, porch and other sections. We were thinking to give a tenant 30 days notice since now they are month to month and do the renovations. Any thoughts? Thanks, Mal
