from the owner and known adult occupant of each dwelling unit where renovation,
remodeling, or repainting will be performed affirming receipt of the pamphlet
prior to the start of renovation, remodeling, or repainting and are aware of
the potential health hazards from remodeling, renovating, or repainting housing
containing lead-based paint. The acknowledgment shall be obtained no more than
60 days prior to commencing the work, be completed prior to commencing the
work, be clearly and legibly written, and include the following:
a. The owner's and occupant's names and the

I have received the pamphlet entitled Lead Poisoning: How to
Protect Iowa Families or the federal pamphlet, Renovate Right, prior to the
start of renovation, remodeling, or repainting and am aware of the potential
health risk associated with remodeling, renovating, or repainting housing
containing lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards.
c. The signature, and date of signature, of
the owner and occupant below the statement from paragraph
469.3(2)"b." If a signature cannot be obtained from an adult
occupant, the person must certify in writing that the pamphlet was delivered to
the dwelling and that a written acknowledgment could not be obtained from an
adult occupant. Such certification must include the address of the unit to be
remodeled, renovated, or repainted; the date and method of delivery of the
pamphlet; the name of the person delivering the pamphlet; the reason for lack
of acknowledgment (e.g., occupant refuses to sign, no adult occupant
available); and a dated signature of the person conducting the renovation,
remodeling, or repainting.
(3) The acknowledgment from subrule 469.3(2)
may be included as a separate sheet or as a part of any written contract or
service agreement. If the parties use a written contract or agreement written
in a language other than English, the acknowledgment text shall be written in
the same language as the text of the contract or agreement.
(4) In lieu of delivering the pamphlet and
written acknowledgment, the person conducting the renovation, remodeling, or
repainting may obtain a certificate of mailing the pamphlet and written
acknowledgment at least seven days prior to beginning the work.
(5) If the general nature, location, and
expected starting and ending dates of the planned renovation, remodeling, or
repainting change after the initial notification has been conducted, the person
conducting the renovation, remodeling, or repainting shall provide further
notification to the owners and occupants providing revised information on the
ongoing or planned activities. This subsequent notification must be provided
before the person conducting the renovation, remodeling, or repainting
initiates work beyond that which was described in the original
notice.
