Sec.  35.82  Scope and applicability.

    This subpart applies to all transactions to sell or lease target 
housing, including subleases, with the exception of the following:
    (a) Sales of target housing at foreclosure.
    (b) Leases of target housing that have been found to be lead-based 
paint free by an inspector certified under the Federal certification 
program or under a federally accredited State or tribal certification 
program. Until a Federal certification program or federally accredited 
State certification program is in place within the State, inspectors 
shall be considered qualified to conduct an inspection for this purpose 
if they have received certification under any existing State or tribal 
inspector certification program. The lessor has the option of using the 
results of additional test(s) by a certified inspector to confirm or 
refute a prior finding.
    (c) Short-term leases of 100 days or less, where no lease renewal or 
extension can occur.
    (d) Renewals of existing leases in target housing in which the 
lessor has previously disclosed all information required under Sec.  
35.88 and where no new information described in Sec.  35.88 has come 
into the possession of the lessor. For the purposes of this paragraph, 
renewal shall include both renegotiation of existing lease terms and/or 
ratification of a new lease.
