Ohio law (section
				5302.30
				of the Revised Code) requires every person who intends to transfer any
				residential real property by sale, land installment contract, lease with option
				to purchase, exchange, or lease for a term of ninety-nine years and renewable
				forever, to complete and provide a copy to the prospective transferee of the
				applicable property disclosure forms, disclosing known hazardous conditions of
				the property, including lead-based paint hazards.
Federal law ( 24 C.F.R. part 35 and 40 C.F.R. part 745)
				requires sellers and lessors of residential units constructed prior to 1978,
				except housing for the elderly or persons with disabilities (unless any child
				who is less than six years of age resides or is expected to reside in such
				housing) or any zero-bedroom dwelling to disclose and provide a copy of this
				report to new purchasers or lessees before they become obligated under a lease
				or sales contract. Property owners and sellers are also required to distribute
				an educational pamphlet approved by the United States environmental protection
				agency and include standard warning language in leases or sales contracts to
				ensure that parents have the information they need to protect children from
				leadbased paint hazards.
