RI buildings are old as fuck which means many still contain(ed) lead paint. Some landlords addressed this but many landlords, especially slumlords, ignored it.

They mention here that 80% of homes in the state were built before 1978 and likely contain lead paint (if not addressed by the property owner.)

You can check what your ll has done on the DOH database. They need to renew their lead certs every two years bc lead paint is typically encapsulated rather than removed and can be re-exposed.
