Potential asbestos - what do i tell the tenant

Paul Aikins
Posted

There’s a lot to this story but for simplicity sake, let’s start here. A claims adjuster said , from their inspection of the home, that some of the attic insulation is of mineral fiber and likely asbestos. There are no permits on the property so likely no previous testing or remediation. I plan to do asbestos test immediately. But what do I do with the tenant? Do i wait until the results or react now? Do I put them up in a hotel immediately? What do the tell the tenant (trying to minimize any potential litigation)? What is my legal obligation, being in Indiana? How do I reduce my risk? Any “non legal” opinions will be greatly appreciated!
