Does a lack of Lead Disclosure or EPA Pamphlet Nulify a Lease

[ddrowe]

Does the lack of the EPA’s Lead Paint Disclosure for a property that is later discovered to have lead in the water pipes, the tub enamel and flaking paint cause a lease to be null and void? I have read in the EPA documentation that “before a purchaser or lessee is obligated under any contract to purchase or lease target housing, certain requirements must be met.” These include the EPA lead paint pamphlet, disclosure of any known lead in the house, etc. I leased a house in western Pa and after a year and a half of a 2 year lease left. There are other circumstances including mold. There were 4 children, 2 teenagers and 2 seven year olds drinking and bathing in that house. Since it was not disclosed or the pamphlet given then the lease should have been void and no obligation exist. Please advise.

Thank you for your time.
