This month’s web site comes from the National Center for Healthy Housing. The National Association of Realtors is hosting additional free webinars on the RRP rule for REALTORs and property managers. I had the opportunity to attend an informative webex seminar about the new EPA regulations coming on line and was able to post a recording of that call as well as the PPT presentation on our webs site on the Legislation Page.The key for the mom and pop owner is to work with a trusted contractor or supervisor and make them responsible. The training starts in May so get them into the training after then. EPA starts certifying firms in October but you do not need to actually comply until April 22, 2010. The other thing you may want to consider is getting a lead inspection sooner rather than later. Right now, the lead inspectors are looking for work and may give you a good price, especially if you are not in a rush. As it gets closer, I am assuming the bigger accounts will make it tougher to find.
