If you plan to renovate, or if you don’t have deleading certificates for all your units,
you need to attend this presentation. Both lead-safe renovation and deleading are required
(few exceptions apply).
Price for getting an RRP fine: $37,500; for telling a family with children your unit is not deleaded: $50,000. But on the other hand,
having lead certificates will allow you to charge increased rent, with lower risk, and obtain higher resale value (an average of $10,000/unit).

Our Deleading Overview will cover:

• Medical/economic/social reasons why lead is a problem for society
• The reasons why landlords are looked at as the biggest lead exposure
• MA laws and regulations that establish liability, interim control, and full compliance
• Federal RRP laws requiring similar care during renovations
• How owners and contractors can undergo training to do some of these things themselves
• Where to see who’s licensed to inspect, delead, and renovate

This part of the presentation will be given by John Risk of JHR Environmental, a veteran MassLandlords speaker
and highly rated service provider.
