Deleading your property can be quite expensive. Fortunately, you don’t have to shoulder the entire cost on your own. We’re sharing with you a huge tip on how to save money with deleading – or tax credits, at least – as well as make your property safer. You can do both by deleading your property with a full-risk deleader. We are talking about someone who can do anything – and should be licensed – to delead your property.
A quick refresher on deleading: removing lead paint used to paint your house. Lead in paint is typical for homes built before 1978 and can still be present under fresher coats of paint. Now you might be thinking, how necessary is it to have your property deleaded?
State provisions on deleading
The Massachusetts Lead Law ensures the protection of families against lead-related hazards. Children – especially those under six years of age – are more at risk from lead poisoning and other complications. Therefore, one of the prime responsibilities of any landlord is to make sure that the property is lead-free. You can do this even if there are no children currently residing on your property. This is doable not only because that is what proactive property managers do but also because the state has a financial assistance program that supports this endeavor. The Massachusetts Lead Paint Removal Tax Credit will give you a $1,500 credit for every single property or unit you delead.
Deleading costs on the size of the property. Still, if you find a deleading company that can charge you less than $1,500. If there is only a minimal amount of lead in your property, you can save money with it this way. By our estimate, there is only a very short list – of less than about sixty people – in all of Massachusetts that can delead your property for you. Fortunately, at Green Ocean Property Management, we are also full-risk deleaders.
In our 40 years in property management, we know that a deleading license can be difficult to obtain. Not to mention, it can also add to the charges. But because we want to make sure that your property is making money and is entirely safe for residents of all ages, we became full-risk deleaders. This is to make sure that we can delead for you in a reasonably cost-effective way. That is why we can also guarantee that all properties we manage are certified lead-free.
Our commitment
So if you or anyone else you know is looking for a proactive property manager that can help you save money with deleading to make your property safer, especially for children under the age of six, please think of Green Ocean Property Management: where you get more than a property manager, you get peace of mind.
