Addressing Mold Issues: Landlords' Guide to Proactive Remediation

Описание: Landlords bear a significant duty to promptly assess and remediate mold concerns raised by tenants. Here's a step-by-step guide on what landlords should do when confronted with mold complaints:

Engage Professional Assessment:
The first crucial step is to hire a specialized company proficient in assessing and remediating mold issues. Professional evaluation ensures accuracy and a comprehensive understanding of the problem.

Confidential Mold Reports:
Mold reports should be treated as confidential documents, shared exclusively with the landlord. This preserves privacy while facilitating informed decision-making.

Licensed Remediation Specialist:
If remediation is deemed necessary, landlords must ensure the engagement of a licensed and insured remediation specialist. Properly sealing affected areas or, if required, the entire unit is essential for effective mold removal.

Tenant Accommodation:
While landlords aren't obligated to provide a hotel room or alternative living arrangements during mold remediation, if the unit becomes temporarily uninhabitable, rent abatement is appropriate until full possession is restored to the tenant.
