Tenant's Child Tested High for Lead? Landlord Steps
A tenant's child has an elevated blood lead level. What Louisville landlords must do, what the risk assessment covers, and how to respond.
Louisville changed its rental lead rules in 2025, and plenty of good landlords aren't sure what applies to them anymore. These guides from our Kentucky-certified lead risk assessors explain city lead notices, HUD and Section 8 requirements, and what to check before you buy a pre-1978 property, in plain language.
You have 30 days to complete a full lead assessment. We schedule notice properties first.
