Plain English

New Hampshire law under N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 130-A:4 prohibits the use or application of paint containing more than 0.06 percent lead in any child care facility, dwelling, or dwelling unit. This restriction applies to anyone who uses, applies, or directs the use or application of such paint — not just property owners. The rule is designed to limit lead exposure in residential and child care environments by setting a strict threshold on lead content in paint products.

For Property Managers

Under N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 130-A:4, compliant property owners and managers ensure that any paint used or applied in their dwellings or dwelling units contains no more than 0.06 percent lead. This obligation extends to contractors or other parties hired to perform painting work, since the law covers anyone who 'causes' such paint to be used or applied. Operators generally verify the lead content of paint products before authorizing any painting work on their properties.

For Tenants

N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 130-A:4 establishes a clear legal prohibition against the use of paint with more than 0.06 percent lead in dwellings and dwelling units, which may be relevant to tenants concerned about lead paint conditions in their homes. Tenants who believe this provision has been violated may consider contacting the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services or a local code enforcement office to report the concern. Tenant-rights organizations in New Hampshire can also help explain what options may be available when a potential lead paint violation is identified.
