Illinois § 9.1

§ 9.1.

Owner's obligation to give notice. An owner of a regulated facility who has received a mitigation notice under Section 9 of this Act shall, before the renewal of an existing lease agreement or before entering into a new sales contract for the dwelling unit for which the mitigation notice was issued: (1) provide the current lessee or lessees, if the lease is to be renewed, and prospective purchasers of that unit with written notice that a lead hazard has previously been identified in the dwelling unit, unless the owner has obtained a certificate of compliance for the unit under Section 9. An owner shall satisfy this notice requirement by providing the prospective lessee or purchaser with a copy of the mitigation notice and inspection report prepared pursuant to Section 9; and (2) provide the Department with written notice of the sale of the dwelling unit for which the mitigation notice was issued, including the date of the sale, and the name, address, telephone number, and email address of the prospective purchaser of the unit. An owner of a regulated facility who has received a mitigation notice under Section 9 of this Act or an owner of a regulated facility who has purchased the facility from an owner who has received a mitigation notice under Section 9 of this Act and who also receives notice as provided in paragraph (1) of this Section shall, before entering into a new lease agreement for the dwelling unit for which the mitigation notice was issued, mitigate the lead hazard previously identified in the regulated facility and obtain a certificate of compliance under Section 9. For purposes of determining compliance with this Act, the date of the mitigation notice for an owner of a regulated facility who has purchased the facility from an owner subject to this Section and who also receives notice as provided for in paragraph (1) of this Section shall be deemed to be the date of the sale as provided for in paragraph (2) of this Section. Before entering into a residential lease agreement or sales contract, all owners of regulated facilities containing dwelling units built before 1978 shall give prospective lessees or purchasers information on the potential health hazards posed by lead in regulated facilities by providing prospective lessees or purchasers with a copy of an informational brochure prepared by the Department and shall be consistent with the requirements set forth in 40 CFR Part 745, Subpart F.
