The Rental Property Owners Association (RPOA), in collaboration with the Healthy Homes Coalition and the City of Grand Rapids, is holding a special seminar entitled "Protect Your Rental Properties from Lead Based Paint Liabilities" April 22 at 6:00pm.  The seminar will be held at DeVos Place (room Monroe B) in Grand Rapids.

The seminar is being held in response to the new federal Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule that will go into effect that day, as well as the recent Federal lawsuit against two Grand Rapids landlords for non-compliance with federal housing regulations.

The seminar will run from 6:00pm to 8:30pm and will cover:

• How lead-based paint impacts children and tenants.
• Compliance with EPA lead-based paint disclosure laws.
• Compliance with new federal regulations regarding the Renovation, Repair and Painting rule with which all landlords must be in compliance by April 22, 2010.
• Compliance with state and local laws regarding lead-based paint.
• Protecting your business from lead-based paint liability.
• Grant funding to make rental properties lead-safe.
