Strategies for Protecting Tenants from Radon in their Homes

This webinar was presented February 28 by members of the National Radon Action Plan Leadership Council and the National Safe and Healthy Housing Coalition to provide information regarding the need to protect tenants from radon and share examples of existing policies and initiatives in place to effect change in all communities. The policies include requiring: provision of a warning statement and radon testing recommendation to tenants, allowing a tenant to exit a lease without financial penalty if landlord neglects to mitigate a high radon level, radon below the EPA action level when the rental lease starts or renews, and building-wide testing and mitigation when the property is for sale, refinanced, or otherwise changing ownership.

The content has been approved as an IEA course that qualifies for NRPP continuing education credit. View the video for the webinar at https://aarst.org/courses/ and complete the quiz to earn one NRPP CE credit. The CE is free to IEA members.
