Tenant wants us to test for lead paint

[T Brian Nauheim]

We just took over property on 4/1.  Prior lease has lead paint clause that states 

"lessor has no knowledge of lead based paint or lead based paint hazards in housing."

"lessor has no reports or records pertaining to lead based paint and/or lead based paint hazards in the housing"

[Robert Loiselle]

What state is the property in?  

I'm in Massachusetts which has some pretty strict lead laws and is generally viewed as tenant friendly. I've found the State generated info online geared towards renters is a great resource for landlords. Spells out a lot of things to look for and has a lot on lead paint. You'll also see a lot of lawyer pages that have good information geared towards tenants which is helpful to landlords. 

See if those resources can help you find out if the have the option to request a lead test.
