[RPPTL LandTen] Radon

[Leonard Cabral]

What does the tenant consider high?   The acceptable level is 4 pCi/l and I was unaware of any place in Florida that has the possibility of producing more than the acceptable level.  I think that is why we put the radon paragraph in leases without any thought.  Have the place tested first.

Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Radon

Good afternoon all.  Quick question regarding radon (you know, that paragraph we put in every document without actually reading it).

I have a client who owns an apartment building.  He recently heard from one of his tenants that there is high levels of radon in the apartment.  Landlord is deciding what to do, and wants to know what his exposure would be, and I was wondering the same thing.

Is there any law out there placing liability on landlords for high radon levels?  Any info would be most appreciated.  Thanks.
