As a landlord, you may work hard to properly maintain your rental property, but natural disasters like floods and storms can still bring mold into your home. They often grow in damp spots, such as underneath your sinks and refrigerators, around air conditioners, and on walls covering your plumbing. If your tenant reports a possible fungi growth, contact mold removal professionals immediately.

Why Should You Get Rid of Mold Quickly?

Hiring mold removal services right away protects your renters from serious health risks. Throughout the country, renters have filed lawsuits against their landlords, after mold exposure led to health problems like skin rashes, cognitive losses, and asthma attacks. Additionally, keeping your property mold-free and acting quickly on tenants' reports can protect your reputation among current and future renters.

How Can You Keep Mold from Returning?

As a landlord, you must keep your premises well-maintained to ensure your tenants' safety. Prevention and early detection are critical to avoid health-related problems, lawsuits, and costly mold restoration. To reduce moisture levels and discourage mold growth in your premises, repair leaky pipes, use humidifiers, and keep damp areas well-ventilated. Let your tenants know that they should report suspected mold to you promptly so it can be addressed. Make sure they're aware of best practices to avoid the problem, like wiping up condensation quickly and using vent fans to disperse shower or cooking steam.
