RESIDENTS HAVE THE OPTION TO TEST FOR LEAD. Resident has the option to have a comprehensive lead inspection and risk assessment from a certified lead inspector performed at their cost. If the Resident chooses to have a lead inspection or risk assessment, it must be done within 10 days of the date the Resident signs this form. The Resident and the Owner can agree in writing to a different period of time. In the case of residential housing constructed prior to 1978, should the inspection reveal lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards on the premises; or in the case of any residential housing, should the inspection reveal a lead service line or lead plumbing components, the Resident may terminate the lease within two business days of the receipt of the inspection report, with all moneys paid on account to be refunded to the Resident. Failure of the Resident to obtain such inspection within the permitted ten days and/or failure to terminate the lease upon a finding of lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards or a lead service line or lead plumbing components within the two-day period will constitute a waiver of the right to conduct an independent inspection and the lease will remain in full force and effect. Upon renewal of an existing lease, any Resident shall have the right to proceed with an inspection or risk assessment as provided above except that such renewing Resident shall not be required to terminate the lease within two (2) days of performance of a comprehensive lead inspection or a risk assessment, but shall be afforded a ten (10) day period to notify Owner in writing of Resident’s intention to terminate the lease, with actual termination and vacation of the premises to occur at a time not to exceed ninety (90) days after receipt of the comprehensive lead inspection or risk assessment, during which period all lease obligations shall remain in full force and effect.
