Tenant wants popcorn ceiling down

Danielle Simone
Posted

I have a tenant that rented my apartment six months ago. She signed the lease for one year and now she’s complaining about the popcorn ceiling containing asbestos. Does anyone know the laws of Florida she saw the apartment when she rented it but now she found out how old the building was, and is afraid of the asbestos am I required to take it down?

Here's the law: https://floridadep.gov/air/permitting-compliance/content/asb...

Asbestos is not dangerous until you renovate or demolish. There's no obligation to test for it or remove it.
