Steps
Pull 40 CFR 745.113 (Subpart F, 'Certification and acknowledgment of disclosure') via the eCFR API full endpoint for Title 40, then locate section 745.113
Extract the required Lead Warning Statement language for sale contracts versus lease contracts — the exact wording differs between the two
Confirm which additional disclosure elements are required for leases specifically (a statement of known lead-based paint/hazards, or a statement of no knowledge, plus any available records)
Note the record-retention requirement: lessors and agents must keep the signed disclosure for at least 3 years from commencement of the leasing period
Known gotchas
This is the disclosure-form content rule, distinct from the RRP work-practice rules — do not conflate 'must disclose known hazards before sale/lease' with 'must follow lead-safe practices during renovation'
State-specific lead disclosure forms must still include this federal Lead Warning Statement language verbatim — a state form is a wrapper, not a replacement
