What are the new lead certification requirements?
Currently, landlords must test and certify their rental properties as lead-safe or lead-free if a child age 6 or under is residing in the property. Starting on October 1, 2020, all rental properties in eleven Philadelphia zip codes will be required to obtain lead-free or lead-safe certification in order to A) execute a new or renewed lease or B) receive new or renewed rental licenses. The remaining zip codes will be phased in over a two-year period. Click the link below for more information about Philadelphia Rental Property Lead.
