I live 40 miles away, so I called the owner of the biggest plumbing co in the city and he and 2 techs dropped everything to get to the property within 10 minutes of my call.I had put a garage outdoor access remote on the outside of the house.. they couldn't get in thru that because THE POWER WAS NOW OFF.Luckily i had put a coded door knob on the kitchen door that opens to the deck-- i gave them the code and they were inside instantly.The water heater was STILL SPEWING WATER full blast in a stream so strong it was hitting the second story ceiling and hitting the ELECTRICAL PANEL also located in the garage and that's what had knocked out the power .The plumbers immediately turned off the inside water main cutoffand sent me photos of the EMERGENCY SITUATION the pm so calmly let me know about by email an hour earlier.i fired the pm co that instant and got on the phone to STATE FARM (my HOMEOWNERS/rental policy dwelling ins co) all whiledriving an hour to the property.i also called the city's best WATER EMERGENCY REMEDIATION COMpany while en route.When i got there, the water was turned off ( finally)the drywall ceiling had fallen in, the light fixtures destroyed, the garage door opener plastic case was HALF FULL OF WATER and there were 1000s of mold blooms on every surface and hundreds of stacks of spiky growing black mold (looked like iron fiilings we used to play with in that game we all had as kids where u use a magnet and drag the iron filings around to put hair and a mustache on the bald guy cartoon photo) the mold spikes were 1.5" tall on the wood railings and stairs going into the house, on all of my beautiful built in wooden garage shelves--- what a mess-- like the streets of Beirut after the bombs went off.and I don't have allergies -- but i could not even STAND inside the garage because the WET MOLD MILDEW SMELL was so strong it instantly gagged me and gave me a headache and i couldn't breathe.So here we are on Jan 17 and now i know that the BEST rental dwelling policy does NOT COVER MOLD REMEDIATION AT ALL ( so far $14,000) but it does cover water damage with a $2500 deductible...

Making a reasonable accomodation for one tenant could trigger allergies for another tenant, and then you have a mess on your hands.

If the tenant has really sensitive allergies then that can trigger a response versus not bothering someone else at lower levels.Definitely you could have an inspector come in and look at the issue that is well qualified with the proper initial equipment and track record to see if a mold company and further testing is warranted.No legal advice given.

while smoking may not be a concern to some, you’re limiting your potential client base as non smokers, those with allergies, parents and those recovering are adverse to renting when units have smoke.

Because of my wife having allergies I am generally more sensitive to such things than the average landlord/tenant, but I would generally say that if you are renting an unfurnished place then you should clean all surfaces and deep clean carpet.

She does not want to pay.The tenants lease is up in July, I'm more than happy for her to move out now, but this since this is a 2br condo and she's splitting it with another stranger -- I don't expect the stranger will want to move out (or cover the full rent until July).So the question is - iIs it my responsibility to pay and perform a mold test with no evidence of mold besides "my allergies are acting up?"
