Tenant Left Moldy Fridge

[Rafael Norat]

This seems to be a reoccurring topic for me, so wanted to know how other people deal with it.... The tenant moving out leaves old items in the frig which winds up accumulating mold in the freezer and/or main compartment. I typically have cleaners come in and remove the mold. Then charge the tenant for the cleaning. Is this typical? Does anyone take this to the point of labeling it a health liability issue and completely remove the frig? Any thought greatly appreciated. Thanks. Rafael

Thanks for the replies!

@Bob B. Utilities were on. We do have a good move-in inspection and thorough lease. But I will look into adding prices for such repairs upfront

@JD Martin Thanks! Would make a good band name "Moldy Frog"
