Duties of a property owner— There are laws governing what the specific duties of a property owner and renter relationship are. Among these require property managers offer a safe environment for their renters. This indicates that if there is an indoor ecological condition that is impacting your
renter’s health, you are legally required to treat this issue.

Liability capacities— If the renter makes you knowledgeable about these conditions and you are don’t follow up to effectively guarantee their environment is safe, you
can be held accountable if revealed neglectful. Health costs can accumulate quickly, moving costs, compensation for time along with pain and suffering and even long term damage. Mold is a very real issue and must not be taken lightly.

Protect your investment— If you get caught up in a long legal fight it can get very expensive. Employing a defense lawyer to litigate, providing a settlement to your renter, all this just to avoid working through the issue properly to begin with. Cutting corners or avoiding a major problem like mold or water damage does nothing but continue to give the issue time to create illness for your renter and potentially trigger damage to your building also. If you have an possession, you want to protect it both structurally along with safeguarding the equity that can be attached after suffering a losing court fight.

We recommend you obtain legal council in these conflicts as we are not attorneys nor can we give legal advice.
