[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Discrimination because under the fair housing law they can't kick us out bc we have children (which they knew about from day 1)  Once they know the house has failed the inspection they have to deal with it in some way, not just kick us out and hope the next person won't care about the lead.[/quote]

Why would you rent without the lead disclosure form?   Why do you want to stay in the unit?   Mass has a data base of lead inspected homes so just look up each potential property for yourself:

The landlord could do everything properly for lead abatement but you still shouldn't be in the unit and I believe you still pay rent during that period only they have to find a reasonable place for you.    The EPA has national regs on lead abatement.

So why pay them any more rent?  What security deposit do they have?   Let the govt inspectors do their jobs.  Just be glad you don't own the property.   One reason we bought our current house was the  build date.  [/quote]
