I am out of state and have a full service property management company that notified me that they would be doing lead testing in October to comply with the December 31st deadline, so I assumed everything would be ok.

Fast turnaround is important to meet this year tax deadline.

If they drop the ball on an HQS inspection reschedule or miss a recertification deadline, that's YOUR rent that stops.
