Lead Paint Responsibility

[Trevor Dominique]

Hello,

I am a fairly new landlord in Northwest Ohio. We just acquired a triplex, and one of our tenants is concerned of a led paint hazard in her bathroom since some of the paint is beginning to chip. 

I have given her both the EPA pamphlet and the led paint disclosure form, letting her know that we are not aware of any led paint hazards in the unit. 

If she would like it tested for led paint, is that her job to do, or our job?

If it is our jobs, are the cheap test kits you can get at a hardware store a reliable way to test for led, or would we be better hiring a professional inspector (there are not many in our area)? 

Help would be appreciated!
