Sec. 9.1. Owner's obligation to give notice. An owner of a regulated facility who has received a mitigation notice under Section 9 of this Act shall, before entering into a new lease agreement or sales contract for the dwelling unit for which the mitigation notice was issued, provide prospective lessees or purchasers of that unit with written notice that a lead hazard has previously been identified in the dwelling unit, unless the owner has obtained a certificate of compliance for the unit under Section 9. An owner may satisfy this notice requirement by providing the prospective lessee or purchaser with a copy of the inspection report prepared pursuant to Section 9. An owner of a regulated facility who has received a mitigation notice under Section 9 of this Act shall, before entering into a new lease agreement for the dwelling unit for which the mitigation notice was issued, mitigate the lead hazard previously identified in the regulated facility and obtain a certificate of compliance under Section 9.

Before entering into a residential lease agreement or sales contract, all owners of regulated facilities containing dwelling units built before 1978 shall give prospective lessees or purchasers information on the potential health hazards posed by lead in regulated facilities by providing prospective lessees or purchasers with a copy of an informational brochure prepared by the Department and shall be consistent with the requirements set forth in 40 CFR Part 745, Subpart F.
