Landlords [with mold-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.

Make your landlord start finding
and fixing landlord mould infestation problems
[that you and your family deserve] by using the 3 step
[3 separate notices if necessary]
Tenant Legal Notices to
Landlords about Mould after
you have documented the mold infestation in your apartment, or rental
house or condominium by using a do it yourself
mold test kits or one of our
Certified Mold Inspectors.
Tenant
Legal Notices to Landlords about Mould
These three different standard legal 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 legal form and
legal notice: 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 mold:
(1) your notes from self-observation of
mold 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 of mold samples collected by you using
our mould test kits and/or the
Scotch tape lift tape mould sampling technique; or
(3)
the best of all, from your
Certified Mold Inspector, a written report as to his or her
physical inspection of your rental unit, along with the written and
signed report from the mold laboratory of mold 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 or illness], 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]:
Tenant Legal Notice To
Landlord: Because of
Your Failure To Do Mould
Inspection, Testing, & Remediation,
I [We] Are Withholding My [Our]
Rent
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 mold infestation
problems.
The price
for one set of all three forms is only
$15.00.
To order,
