I just spent the day getting certified as a contractor licensed by the EPA to do renovation work on properties that have lead paint in them. The requirements, especially the paperwork is daunting. You have to do it even if you are working on your own rental properties.
This will simply make it significantly more expensive for landlords to do business. The only company in Omaha that that can teaches the classes is Midwest training institute. Basically there is a lot of disclosure for tenants and owners to sign, as well as a bunch of requirements to how to work safe in a home that has lead based paint. The law goes into effect 04/22/10.
