California Lead-Based Paint Disclosure
This Lead-Based Paint Disclosure is built with California as the governing state. These are the California landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.
California rules at a glance
| Lead-based paint | Federal warning and any known-hazard disclosure for housing built before 1978 (42 U.S.C. §4852d). |
|---|---|
| Landlord entry | 24 hours’ written notice, during business hoursCiv. Code §1954 |
Landlord entry & access
A California landlord must give reasonable written notice — 24 hours is presumed reasonable — stating the date, approximate time, and purpose, and may enter only during normal business hours (§1954). No notice is required in a genuine emergency. Any lease clause that waives the tenant’s entry-notice rights is void (§1953).
Required disclosures in California
California requires more lease disclosures than almost any other state. Every one that applies to your property is generated automatically:
- Lead-based paint — Federal warning and any known-hazard disclosure for housing built before 1978 (42 U.S.C. §4852d).
- Megan’s Law — The statutory sex-offender-database notice, verbatim, in every lease (§2079.10a).
- Mold — Written disclosure of known mold above safe limits, plus the state mold booklet (Health & Safety Code §26147).
- Bed bugs — A general bed-bug information notice to every new tenant; no renting a unit with a known infestation (§1954.603).
- Death in the unit — Any death on the property within the last three years (excluding HIV/AIDS-related), if it occurred (§1710.2).
- Flood hazard — If the owner knows the unit is in a special flood hazard area (Gov. Code §8589.45).
- Other — Proposition 65 warnings, demolition permits (§1940.6), shared utility meters (§1940.9), smoking policy (§1947.5), former military ordnance nearby (§1940.7), and drug-lab contamination (Health & Safety Code §25400.28) where applicable.
