Lead Paint Disclosure Form
Use a Lead Paint Disclosure template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What the Lead Paint Disclosure Form records
The Lead Paint Disclosure Form tells a prospective buyer or renter whether the seller or landlord knows of lead-based paint or lead hazards in housing built before 1978. It records available reports, inspections, and acknowledgments before the transaction or lease. Under the federal Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Rule, sellers, landlords, agents, and property managers must provide known information, available records, the EPA pamphlet, and a warning statement before signing. signNow can upload the completed form, detect fillable fields, route acknowledgments for signature, and preserve the signed record with an audit trail.

Rental housing
Landlords and property managers use the disclosure for qualifying rental housing, recording known lead hazards, available reports, and renter acknowledgment before lease execution.

Lead Paint Disclosure Form troubleshooting
Resolve field, signer, electronic-signature, plan, accuracy, and retention issues before relying on a completed Lead Paint Disclosure Form.
Upload the original Lead Paint Disclosure Form as PDF, then use signNow field detection and manually verify every property, signer, and acknowledgment field before sending. The Business plan includes templates and audit trails; missing fields should be corrected before routing.
Use a separate signer role for the seller or landlord and the buyer or renter. Confirm each recipient’s email address and signing order, then resend only the incomplete request. signNow’s audit trail records the delivery and signing activity.
Electronic signatures can support the transaction under ESIGN and applicable UETA rules when intent, consent, attribution, and record access are established. For consumer-facing records, provide the ESIGN disclosure and paper-record option required by 15 U.S.C. §7001(c).
The Business plan provides legally binding eSignatures, templates, audit trails, and mobile apps at $8 per user per month when billed annually. Business Premium adds bulk send at $15 per user per month; confirm the selected plan before sending many disclosures.
Review the completed form for the property address, construction date, known lead information, available reports, EPA pamphlet acknowledgment, and required signatures. A signed template cannot correct missing or inaccurate seller or landlord disclosures.
Export the signed PDF and audit trail from signNow, then place them with the property or lease file. Apply the retention period required by the transaction, state housing law, and any applicable health-record rule rather than deleting automatically.
