Mold Addendum to Residential Lease

A landlord or a property manager ensures that a rental property meets living standards like running water, active ventilation, electricity, and heating. This extends to the disclosure of toxic materials such as asbestos, lead, or insect infestation.

Additionally, if there is a past or present mold, the landlord should disclose this information with a Mold Addendum to Lease.

What Is a Mold Addendum to Lease?

The Mold Addendum to Lease is a standard addition to a lease agreement. In California, Montana, and Virginia, a landlord is required by law to disclose any knowledge about the presence of mold. In some states, landlords include the Mold Addendum to Lease as a form of informational requirement. Tenants are to be informed about the potential hazards in a rental property and possible health consequences in the event of a mold infestation.

The Mold Addendum to Lease also serves as a reminder to tenants to do all they can to prevent mold from developing in the rental property.

Depending on your state, a Mold Addendum to Lease may also be known as:

• Mold Lease Addendum
