Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires that a landlord conduct a test for lead for each water supply or plumbing system serving a premises prior to entering into a rental agreement with a prospective tenant for that premises. Under the bill, the landlord must disclose the results of the test for lead and disclose whether any water supply or plumbing system serving the premises contains lead pipes or lead service lines. If lead is detected by the test or there are lead pipes or lead service lines serving the premises, the landlord must provide the prospective tenant with the pamphlet published by the Department of Natural Resources that describes the risks of lead in drinking water.
The bill provides that if a landlord fails to fulfill any of the obligations regarding testing, disclosure, or providing the pamphlet, the rental agreement for that premises is void and unenforceable in its entirety.
