[RPPTL LandTen] Mold Addendums

[Leonard Cabral]

Todd:
First, who is complaining about the mold??  If it is the tenant I look to see if the landlord knew of the mold before the apartment is rented.  If the tenant is complaining usually what I get for the tenant is some $$ to move (amount depends on how long they lived there and if the landlord knew of the mold before renting).  I also have my client do a mold test  which I would have a landlord do if they wanted to move a tenant out for mold.   If the landlord wants the tenant out and uses mold as the reason I think I could make a compelling argument  that the mold addendum is against public policy by using HUD's Quality Housing Standards.

Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Mold Addendums

Has anyone litigated a mold addendum that gives the landlord the ability to terminate the lease for the presence of mold (in the opinion of the landlord)?  Interested in hearing if anyone thinks this violates public policy.
