Vote ITL, it has many problems: ~Mold spores are everywhere. All they need is water and food. ~Many instances of mold are caused by a tenant, however the bill puts all blame for all mold squarely on the landlord. ~Something like bedbug law is needed that put responsibility on tenants and landlords depending on who is responsible. ~There are easily available low cost products now that very reliably handle mold. We don’t need heavy handed expensive regulations that increase the cost of housing. ~The bill specifically calls out extra mold enforcement provisions not used for other minimum standards
It’s important to the health of renters to quickly and effectively treat mold that may be contaminating their apartments. This should absolutely be the responsibility and duty of the landlords renting mold affected properties.
Mold has serious health effects. This bill is quite important.
Mold is a serious health hazard. This bill protects tenants’ health and safety and ensures landlords maintain habitable housing.
This bill should be self-explanatory as to why it is necessary in order to assure that significant mold conditions are properly remediated for the safe health and welfare of tenants.
Please, mold is so bad
