Renovation, Repair & Painting Rule (RRP)
Effective: April 22,2010


ANOTHER REGULATION.... as if it wasn't expensive enough to take care of your home or rental properties, another regulation has been added. Beginning April 22, homeowners, property managers, landlords, realtors and contractors will be required by federal law to be legally trained and certified, in regards to lead dust exposure, when repairing, renovating and painting child care facilities, homes and schools built prior to 1978, but only if they’re receiving compensation for the renovation. The Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP), required by the EPA, is intended to protect residents and workers of all ages from the dangers of lead-based paint.
