Looking for a form to move tenants out temporarily - mold
I have a tenant who heard "the toilet running" for "over a week, I guess" - but it turned out to be a big hot water leak spraying the subfloor under the bathroom in an enclosed crawlspace. So there is mold. Lots of mold. The remediation company will not give an absolute move out recommendation, because they refer to a third party company for environmental assessment (minimum 300-1200 not covered by insurance), but the tech has indicated it would be a good idea for them to move out for 5-7 days. Their renter insurance is lapsed (I now know to add our company as an interest, thanks to this board), so they are resistant. For their health (and our liability risk) I am going to tell them they are required to move out for the duration of the remediation. Obviously, they have been told they need to immediately secure their coverage, with us listed as an interest.
Anyone happen to have a letter for a temporary move out due to repairs/environmental risk? I know it is a long shot, but have not been able to find anything through the insurance or remediation companies or online searching.
Thanks for any help.
