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. </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Leonard P.
