There are new rules from EPA.

“EPA requires that firms performing renovation, repair, andpainting projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, child care facilities and schools be certified by EPA and that they use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers to follow lead-safe work practices.”

“Renovations in sizes greater than 6 sq. ft. interior and 20 sq. ft. exterior fall under this regulation.” - from AAR’s article.

Owners of properties are exempted but responsible for any work they do.
