I am a renter in a brownstone. We love our shutters. The owners want to remove them on the premise that there may be lead dust in them. I understand that, but they are painted, we do not touch them, and I would prefer to leave them up rather than take them down. Do I have any recourse? We rented this unit with shutters and we want our shutters. They were painted 18 months ago, and seem fine.
