This new requirement will affect,residential contractors, homeowners, property investors,maintenance personnel and all special trade contractors.
Contractors who perform renovation repairs, and painting on any residential building or commercial child care facility which disturbs more than 2 square feet of interior painted surface and 20 square feet of exterior painted surface are required to leave a copy of EPA "Renovate Right" with homeowner and obtain a receipt which has to be retained for 3 years in addition the contractor has to be a HUD approved "certified renovator".
