[quote=Anonymous]Your landlord is not going to not raise your rent because of twins. But I do think they are legally obligated to test for lead with an infant in the house. Once our building found out I was pregnant I think they started doing lead paint testing and they had to remediate some areas because I live in an older building. They now check it on a regular basis, this is I believe required by DC law. If you have a crummy landlord you may have a hard time getting them to do this. The other issue is lead in your water, if you have older pipes. You may want to get this tested and start using a filter like Zero Water that filters out lead. Brita doesn’t do this.

If you are having issues with your landlord now and affording your life, during pregnancy is the time to make changes—you do not want to deal with any additional complexities once your babies are here. What worked for you and your partner before becoming parents (expensive but crappy apartment with a good location with landlord/maintenance issues) is not necessarily going to work for you with two small infants to take care of. If your landlord is not responsive to your apartment issues now, do you really want to be dealing with that as another stressor in the postpartum period? [/quote]
