Is Your Landlord Unconcerned & Uncaring about Your
Apartment or Rental House or Condominium Mold Problems?
Landlords [with
mold-infested rental properties] may have potential and substantial legal
liability to tenants for such items as mold damage to tenants' health,
medical bills for medical mold testing and treatment, loss of earnings
because of mold problems, mold damage to tenants' clothing and personal
effects, moving expenses, higher rent if tenants need to move to a
mold-safe place, and for the costs of mold 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 Mold,
about which you can read on the rest of this page below. Seek advice from
a mold lawyer.
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 mold infestation in your
apartment, or rental house or condominium by hiring a
Certified
Mold Inspector.
Tenant Mold Legal Form Notices to Landlords
These three
different standard form, copyrighted mold legal form notices are
ready-to-use. Often, you will only need to complete and mail [certified
mail with return receipt requested] the first notice: Tenant Legal
Notice to Landlord: Mold Problems. You simply fill-in your personal
information form [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:
-
your notes from
self-observation of mold growth in the
mold test kits during the 7 days after the date of testing;
-
better yet,
the written and signed report from the Mold Mart
mold analysis lab analysis
and mold identification of mold samples collected by you using
mold test kits and/or the
Scotch tape lift
tape mold sampling technique;
-
or 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 Inspector
Laboratory, Ltd., analysis and mold identification 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 mold-safe
rental unit; paying for mold decontamination of your clothing and personal
property; paying for effective, safe, and professional mold inspection,
testing, and remediation; paying for mold medical testing and treatment of
you and your family members; and paying for lost wages and salaries
resulting from your mold 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]:
-
Tenant Legal Form Notice To Landlord: Because of Your Failure To Do Mold
Inspection, Testing, and Remediation, I [We] Are Withholding My [Our]
Rent
-
Tenant Legal Notice To Landlord: Because of Your Failure To
Do Mold 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.
Price:
The price for one set
of all three forms is only $15.00.
