The Dangers of Lead-Based Paint in Rental Properties

Exposure to lead in rental homes can lead to lead poisoning, which is associated with a number of concerning symptoms. One of the most common causes of lead poisoning is lead-based paint in homes. Although high levels of lead can result in lead poisoning, long-term exposure to even low levels of lead can be just as dangerous.

When lead builds up in the body, lead poisoning can occur, which can result in different symptoms in children and adults. Unfortunately, children under six are at the highest risk of suffering significant harm due to lead poisoning.

Symptoms of lead poisoning in children include the following:

• Pica (eating things that are not food)
• Developmental delays
• Learning difficulties
• Irritability
• Pérdida de apetito
• Pérdida de peso
• Fatigue (and general sluggishness)
• Vómitos
• Estreñimiento
• Pérdida auditiva
• Convulsiones

Symptoms of lead poisoning in adults include the following:

• Joint pain
• Muscle pain
• High blood pressure
• Memory and concentration issues
• Headache
• Abdominal pain
• Mood disorders
• Reduced sperm count or abnormal sperm
• Miscarriage, stillbirth, or premature birth in pregnant women (newborns could also have slowed or stunted growth in addition to low birth weights)

Some of the most severe complications include permanent brain damage, kidney damage, and nervous system damage. In addition, seizures, loss of consciousness, and death are also a possibility in the most severe cases.

Regardless of how exactly you and your family were affected by lead paint in your rental home or apartment, it is important that you explore your legal options as soon as possible.
