[quote=Anonymous]What are you hoping to approach them about? Unless you're sanding, stripping, or otherwise disturbing paint, it shouldn't be a problem. If the paint is chipping or peeling somewhere, you might have a problem. If you're chewing on window sills that are painted, that could also be a problem. If your neighbors or landlords are doing any of these things improperly, it could be a problem. Otherwise, there's really nothing to do. Most paint that is lead-based is probably covered by several more layers of paint that isn't lead-based, particularly if you're in a typical leased property. They should have given you a disclosure form when you signed your lease, but they have to do that for all older properties. I forget the date but I want to say 1969? Lots of things to worry about when you're pregnant, but I suspect this isn't one of them.[/quote]
