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