Hello,


I'm in a challenging situation regarding black mold in a rental property, and I'm seeking some advice on how to handle it appropriately. Recently, I noticed the presence of black mold in a few areas of the apartment I'm renting, and I'm concerned about the potential health risks it poses to me and my family.

Should I insist on professional mold testing to assess the extent of the problem?
Is it the landlord's responsibility to address and resolve the mold issue?

Sorry to hear about the black mold in your rental property. As for who's responsible, it really depends on what your lease agreement says. Generally speaking, landlords are required to provide safe and habitable living conditions for their tenants, which includes taking care of mold problems. If the testing confirms the presence of black mold, you should talk to your landlord and ask them to hire a professional mold remediation service to take care of the problem. This will involve not only removing the mold but also fixing any underlying moisture issues that might be causing it. Your landlord may be required to cover the costs of this service, so make sure to check your lease and local tenant laws.
