DIRECT ANSWER
EPA page updated March31,2026; federal/state administration and project-specific applicability must be checked. Confirm current requirements and the actual student, employee, household or property circumstances with the cited authority. No property inventory or named professional is assigned by this answer.
EPA’s RRP rule covers qualifying paint-disturbing paid work in pre-1978 housing, including rental owner/managers. Certification/work practices and exemptions matter. Window replacement and painted-surface demolition are covered regardless of the small-job area threshold; check scope before pricing a cosmetic turnover as ordinary repainting.
