Official Law Citation: KRS 383.580 / Federal Lead Disclosure Rule
Kentucky requires several disclosures from residential landlords, primarily relating to security deposit handling and property condition. Additionally, federal law mandates lead-based paint disclosure for older properties.
Mandatory Disclosures
1. Security Deposit Account Information (KRS 383.580)
Within 30 days of receiving a security deposit, the landlord must provide the tenant with written notice of:
- The name of the financial institution holding the deposit.
- The address of the institution.
2. Move-in Checklist (KRS 383.580)
When collecting a security deposit, the landlord must provide a move-in checklist documenting the condition of the premises. Both parties should sign the checklist to avoid disputes at move-out.
3. Landlord/Agent Identification (KRS 383.585)
The landlord must disclose:
- The name and address of the landlord or authorized agent.
- The identity of any person authorized to manage the property or receive notices and demands.
4. Lead-Based Paint Disclosure (Pre-1978 Properties)
For properties built before 1978, federal law requires landlords to:
- Disclose any known lead-based paint or hazards.
- Provide the EPA pamphlet "Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home."
- Include a lead-based paint disclosure form signed by both parties.
- Allow a 10-day period for the tenant to conduct an independent lead inspection.
Recommended (Not Mandatory) Disclosures
URLTA vs. Non-URLTA Jurisdictions
In jurisdictions that have not adopted the URLTA, the statutory disclosure requirements may not apply. However, landlords in all jurisdictions must comply with federal lead paint disclosure requirements and should follow best practices for documenting property condition.
