Appendix B - Window Guards Required
If your building was built after 1978, the Annual Notice to Tenant (Appendix B) must be completed by Tenants each year. This Notice:
- Informs Tenants that window guards must be installed if a child 10 years or younger lives in the apartment;
- Advises occupants that any Tenant may request window guards and the Landlord is required to install them;
- Advises Tenants that it’s a violation of local laws to refuse, interfere with the installation of, or remove window guards;
- Asks Tenants to check a box letting the Landlord know whether a child under 10 currently lives in the unit; whether window guards are currently installed; whether additional window guards are needed; and/or whether the current window guards need any maintenance or repair.
It’s EZ to comply with this annual notice requirement: simply download the document and have Tenants sign and return it once a year.
*Note: If your unit was built before 1978, you must provide Tenants with this Annual Notice about the risks of lead poisoning and window falls.
