Updated January 2026

Federal law requires real estate professionals, landlords, sellers, and property managers to provide this EPA-published pamphlet to prospective buyers and renters of any home or apartment built before 1978. Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home is the official disclosure document used to satisfy this requirement under the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act (Title X).

This January 2026 edition reflects the most current EPA, HUD, and CPSC guidance and is the version that should be used in pre-1978 transactions today.

Inside this pamphlet, your clients will learn:

• The disclosure responsibilities of sellers, landlords, agents, and renovators
• Which home and building types are most likely to contain lead-based paint
• How lead enters the body and the associated health risks for children, adults, and developing fetuses
• How to identify lead hazards and have a property professionally inspected
• Practical steps to reduce lead exposure at home
• Other common sources of lead, including drinking water, soil, and imported goods
