For Landlords who have received Certificates of Conformance on their properties, keeping the property in lead paint compliance is straightforward. Every certificate is valid for two years from its date of issue. At the end of this two-year certificate, the way a landlord can renew depends on whether there have been any move outs from the unit.

Long Term Tenants
If the tenants have not changed since you initially received your certificate, then a property owner can extend their compliance by doing it themselves. They simply need to do a visual evaluation of the property and complete the "Affidavit of Completion of Visual Evaluation".

New or Short Term Tenants
At the end of the two year period, with tenants that have changed during that time, the only way a property owner can maintain compliance is to have an Independent Clearance Inspection completed on the property. Place your order for a $99 Lead Paint Inspection from RI Lead Techs to maintain compliance on the property. We've got licensed Rhode Island lead inspectors throughout the state.
