    Mold is one of the most troublesome environmental hazards!

    Learn how to get a handle on mold problems and limit costly repairs and tenant lawsuits. From identifying mold to cleaning it up, this book provides essential information landlords and managers need to know about managing mold in residential rental properties.

    The book explains:

    • why and how rental property owners may be liable for mold damage to tenant belongings and health
    • actions that you and your staff (and even your tenants) can take when it comes to mold prevention, such as regular inspections for leaky pipes and weatherstripping
    • how to avoid tenant rent withholding and lawsuits
    • do-it-yourself options for responding to a mold problem, as well as advice on hiring a professional mold remediation company
    • what to do when the previous property owner or someone else (such as a tenant) is responsible for a mold problem

    This book includes sample forms, including a mold inspection checklist and model lease clauses, in the Appendix.
