Lead Paint Certification Required

I have just completely renovated a home in the historic district and am finally ready to rent out. However, I need to get a lead safe certification. I found out that in order to be lead safe there can't be any peeling, chipping, or cracked paint on the exterior as well. This is a very old house with wood paneling. Has anyone experienced this? The paint is 2 years old and is already chipping/peeling. In order to rent I'll essentially need to paint the entire exterior. Also, every time I get new tenants, I'll need to get another lead safe certification, which includes no exterior paint chipping. I don't know what to do at this point. Please, any help would be appreciated.
