[RPPTL LandTen] mold

[Greg Hass]

Thanks Harry and Cary (ode to Cubs fans) for your responses.

Now THAT is most definitely a kick-butt mold addendum - I especially liked the parts that require the tenants to air-dry their dishes, keep their shower curtain in the tub when showering, and to immediately report plant watering overflows in writing!  I can see you’re an experienced “mold game” player – thanks for the help.

1. Immediate inspection by a pro you can TRUST. Tell them NOT to speak with the tenant.

2. Remediation if necessary.

3. Use of a tough kick butt Mold Addendum like mine so you can kick out people  who are playing the "mold game".

Greetings,

Is anyone aware of any specific building/housing/health code that makes it a violation to have mold in a dwelling?  I’ve yet to find anything other than just mere guidance on how to eliminate mold such as the DOH site here:  http://www.doh.state.fl.us/environment/community/indoor-air/mold.htm#WhatCantheCountyHealthDepartmentsDo

When a T complains that they are allegedly suffering from a breathing disorder allegedly caused by alleged mold, what’s the best strategy for LL to take in response where LL believes T is just trying to scam them?

Thanks,
Greg
