Re: lead paint
A waiver may not be sufficient as against a child. They can only waive the adult rights.

Re: lead paint
There is absolutely no waiver of the lead paint laws, or the state sanitary and other housing code laws, that I am aware of. Certainly a child cannot effectively waive his or her rights.
You should have the property tested and take whatever remedial action needs to be taken.
Re: lead paint
No. Get the unit inspected and if you need to either encapsulate the lead paint or remove it.
The Statute does not allow any such waiver to be binding.
