New RI Rental Registry & Lead Paint Cert. Requirements - registration due 10/1/24
16 September 2024 | 1 reply
Hi folks, this has been all over the news and social media so I hope it's not a surprise to anyone but I just wanted to cover all the bases.Due to legislation spearheaded by the RI attorney general earlier this year, there is a new RI rental registry in place that requires all rental unit owners (even short term rentals) to register every rental property and rental unit in the state of RI, by October 1, 2024.The website is www.rentalregistry.ri.gov and you will also need to upload a current lead certificate ("Certificate of Lead Conformance") for each rental unit.The demand is so high that lead inspectors are currently booked out into November and December, so I hope you already have lead paint certs for all your units.

I found very few reviews except one that said it requires a $5000 initial investment and the refund policy wasn't stated.All these social media gurus/coaches say basically the same thing with different hooks to get your attention, his being the "cowboy" and they will mentor you 1:1 and walk you through the steps, etc.
