The lead-based-paint racket has had a long life. Cost a lot of money. Initiated a lot of regulations and fines. This all started when it was noticed that SOME inner-city children had difficulty learning in public schools. The education community decided these children had difficulty learning, because they had all been chewing on window sills that were painted with lead-based paint.
I ask you, how many children have you ever seen chewing on a window sill? This whole thing is a hoax - just like the global warming bull.
How? By presuming you're functioning in your "corporate aspect," and therefore that you come under its complete control. And also presuming that if you don't refute its corporate presumption, you agree to it, and therefore are bound by it.
That's how.
Who would have guessed the EPA has become more about shaking people down for money and less about actually protecting the environment.
It should be part of a standard lease agreement but going to check if mine contain it. If not, I guess I need to gather some signatures. What a pain.
In a past life, I played Lanlord for about 10 years. All of the HUD renters had this enclosure as part of thier lease. Now, I honestly don’t think I could find a copy of more than a few of these nowadays in my old files. The State of Connecticut has the rest in file somewhere. How much you wanna bet we start seeing scum sucking lawyer adds that say “Have you ever rented an apartment in an older building?”
I’m guessing that the State would simply say FU or wouldn’t be able to “find” these files. and I would be out somewhere in the neighborhood of $260K on a house I eneded up sellng at a loss anyway. Screw being a landlord. Never, ever, again will I do that.
Nixon’s addition to the bureaucracy should be axed.
