Rhode Island Lead-Based Paint Disclosure
This Lead-Based Paint Disclosure is built with Rhode Island as the governing state. These are the Rhode Island landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.
Rhode Island rules at a glance
| Lead hazards | Most rentals built before 1978 need a Certificate of Lead Conformance under the Lead Hazard Mitigation Act (R.I. Gen. Laws ch. 42-128.1), on top of the federal lead warning and known-hazard disclosure (42 U.S.C. §4852d). |
|---|---|
| Landlord entry | 2 days’ notice, at reasonable timesR.I. Gen. Laws §34-18-26(c) |
Landlord entry & access
Except in an emergency or where it’s impracticable, a Rhode Island landlord must give the tenant at least two days’ notice of the intent to enter and may enter only at reasonable times (R.I. Gen. Laws §34-18-26(c)). That’s longer than the 24 hours most states require.
The landlord may enter without consent in an emergency, or during a tenant absence of more than seven days if reasonably necessary to protect the property (§34-18-26(b)). The tenant can’t unreasonably refuse entry to inspect, repair, supply services or show the unit (§34-18-26(a)), and the landlord can’t abuse the right of access to harass the tenant.
Required disclosures in Rhode Island
- Owner / manager identity — At or before the start of the tenancy, the name and contact details of the property manager and of an owner or agent for service of process (R.I. Gen. Laws §34-18-20).
- Housing-code violations — Before signing, the landlord must tell a prospective tenant about any outstanding minimum-housing-code violations on the building, and must copy tenants on any new violation notice within 30 days unless it’s corrected (§34-18-22.1).
- Fees, utilities & insurance — Fees disclosed in the rent section, which utilities are included, and any renters-insurance requirement (§34-18-15).
- Lead hazards — Most rentals built before 1978 need a Certificate of Lead Conformance under the Lead Hazard Mitigation Act (R.I. Gen. Laws ch. 42-128.1), on top of the federal lead warning and known-hazard disclosure (42 U.S.C. §4852d).
