Landlord
Legal Liability for Mould Infestation
Is Your
Landlord Unconcerned & Uncaring about Your
Apartment or Rental House or Condominium Mould
Problems?
Landlords [with mould-infested rental
properties] may have potential and substantial legal liability to tenants for such items as
mould damage to tenants' health, medical bills for medical mould testing and treatment, loss
of earnings because of mould problems, mould damage to tenants' clothing and personal effects,
moving expenses, higher rent if tenants need to move to a mould-safe place, and for the costs
of mould inspection, testing, and remediation of the rental units. You should seek out the
advice of an attorney who specializes in landlord-tenant law or in environmental law. You
also may consider using the Tenant Notices to Landlord about Mould, about which you can
read on the rest of this page below.
Get both the landlord attention and action
that you and your family deserve by using the 3 step
[3 separate notices if necessary] after you have documented the mould infestation in your
apartment, or rental house or condominium by using do it yourself
mould test kits
or hiring our Certified
Mould Inspector.
Tenant Legal Notices
to Landlords about Mould
These three different standard form,
copyrighted mould legal notices are ready-to-use. Often, you will only need to complete and
mail [certified mail with return receipt requested] the first notice:
1.
Tenant Legal Notice to Landlord: Mould Problems. You simply fill-in your
personal information [such as your name, rental property and unit address, your contact
details, landlord name and address, and date]. You then attach as a
Notice exhibit one of these 3 possible proofs of mould: (1) your notes from
self-observation of mould growth in the mould test kits during the 7 days after the date of testing; (2)
better yet, the written and signed report from the mould laboratory analysis and mould identification of mould samples collected by you using our mould test kits;
or (3) the best of all, from your
Certified Mould Inspector,
a written
report as to his or her physical inspection of your rental unit, along with the written and
signed report from the mould laboratory analysis and
mould identification of mould samples collected by your inspector.
If your landlord fails to comply with the very specific requests in your first legal notice
[such as moving you temporarily at the landlord's expense to a mould-safe rental unit; paying
for mould decontamination of your clothing and personal property; paying for effective, safe,
and professional mould inspection, testing, and remediation; paying for mould medical testing
and treatment of you and your family members; and paying for lost wages and salaries resulting
from your mould sickness], you can then decide to send your choice of these second and third
legal notices [or send the third one after you have already mailed the second one, as may be
necessary]:
2. Tenant Legal Notice To Landlord: Because of Your Failure To Do Mould
Inspection, Testing, & Remediation, I [We] Are Withholding My
[Our] Rent
3. Tenant Legal Notice To Landlord: Because of Your Failure To Do Mould
Inspection, Testing, & Remediation, I [We] Are Vacating
All three legal notices are very strong in impact when mailed via certified mail to your
landlord. If you so desire, you can re-type the notices in your computer word processing
program in any way you require, add or subtract words and provisions, and have your own
attorney customize the notices to fit any particular circumstances or special needs you have
that are not covered to your satisfaction in these standard forms. All three notices
contain unique clauses that will encourage your landlord to cooperate with you, rather than to
resist fixing mould infestation problems.
The price for one set of all
three forms is only US$15.00.
