other unassisted comparable units. Owners of projects with more than 4
units must complete the following section for most recently leased
comparable unassisted units within the premises.
Address and unit number

Date Rented

c. Check one of the following:
_____ Lead-based paint disclosure requirements do not apply because this
property was built on or after January 1, 1978.

surfaces associated with such unit or common areas have been found to be
lead-based paint free by a lead-based paint inspector certified under the

HUD tenancy addendum.

The owner (including a principal or other interested party) is not the
parent, child, grandparent, grandchild, sister or brother of any member of the

family of such determination) that approving leasing of the unit, notwithstanding such relationship, would provide reasonable accommodation for a family
member who is a person with disabilities.

owner and family as to whether or not the unit will be approved.
