Lead based paint disclosure?

[David Napier]

Hello BP, we are looking at buying a older duplex (1964).  It very well may have some lead based paint in it still. As far as renting it, do I need to verify (test) if it does or not. Our concern is if we don't, can a tenant possibly sue us over it down the road?  

Also while we are on the topic of lawsuits, what if there is a crack in the walkway and a tenant trips on it and breaks a leg, can they sue?
