Federal HUD and EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) rules govern lead-hazard work in pre-1978 rentals. Arizona ARS 33-1338 requires written disclosure of known lead-based paint. Maricopa County has no separate lead-hazard inspection program for rentals.
The 1992 Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act (Title X) and 24 CFR Part 35 require disclosure and safe-work practices in pre-1978 rental and sale properties. EPA's RRP rule (40 CFR 745) requires certified renovators for jobs disturbing more than 6 square feet interior or 20 square feet exterior. Arizona ARS 33-1338 requires landlords to deliver federal lead-hazard pamphlet and disclose known lead-based paint before lease. Maricopa County Department of Public Health responds to childhood elevated blood-lead cases under ARS 36-789 and CDC reporting rules. No proactive county rental-inspection program checks for lead. Phoenix and Mesa have no separate lead-rental inspection. Section 8 housing requires HUD lead-paint inspections by certified risk assessors before occupancy.
Federal lead-disclosure violations under TSCA Section 1018 carry civil penalties up to $19,915 per violation plus triple damages to tenants. RRP non-certification fines reach $40,576 per day under EPA enforcement. ARS 33-1338 violations create tenant rescission rights.
