Source: the [NJ DCA list of certified lead evaluation contractors](https://www.nj.gov/dca/codes/publications/pdf_lead/ld_eval_contrs.pdf). **When does New Jersey require a lead-safe certification inspection?** NJ requires lead-safe certification inspections of most pre-1978 rental units at tenant turnover (P.L.2021, c.182). DCA-certified lead evaluation contractors do these inspections and other lead evaluations ([NJ DCA lead-safe certification](https://www.nj.gov/dca/codes/resources/leadpaint.shtml)). **Is a lead inspection required to sell a home in New Jersey?** Not for most owner-occupied sales. Buyers of pre-1978 homes get a 10-day period to do a lead-based paint inspection or risk assessment, which the parties can lengthen, shorten or waive in writing ([EPA real estate disclosure rule](https://www.epa.gov/lead/real-estate-disclosures-about-potential-lead-hazards)).
