OK. You screwed up. The tenants pointed your mistake out to you. So now, correct your mistake. Get in touch with your tenants, and set up a time with them when you BOTH can go thru the house together, and look for any chipped or peeling paint. If you find something, correct it ASAP. Then fill out a new disclosure statement with the correct info on it, and give them an approved pamphlet.

Are your Ts trying to get out of their lease with you. If they are, just let them go. It's easier/simpler/cheaper than if they want to cause a stink, and threaten to tell the EPA about it. Learn from your mistake. Now that you KNOW the house was build before 1978, you'll never make that same mistake again.
