Depending on the severity of your mold, I can recommend biocide labs. 

(military isn't bad, but new leases every year or so from what I've heard and very few casino workers as the closest one to yucca valley is 29 palms)I have found the area to be very misunderstood - as people driving by assume meth labs, sex offenders and neonazis  ---  when instead you find millionaire horse/animal lovers, older retirees who feel like they have found shangri-la, and an increasing amount of younger LGBT creative folks re-creating identity in the serenity of the desert. also, $15/hr minimum wage law is underway - going up $1 a year until $15 in 2020. 

I was interested in the secondary processing and was worried about the legal liability from the fed.We do pharmaceutical research in the lab.

But I do travel a lot for work (I'm currently in Redding, California).I was attending FIU as a dual major - Biology and Chemistry but I took a break. 

as far as the lying, yep she claimed to have one small service dog on the lease but when I went over there there were two hyper dogs, one a lab, the other a lab mix, no way service dogs and no way small. then I started to dig deeper and found out the references were on her FB page - boy did I feel dumb, but then again I expect that my realtor knows these things since that is what I pay her for.

You will have to pay for lab testing also thru them I forget how much the charge was. 

What is your specific concern: the smell will bother other tenants (if multis) or that it could turn into some sort of drug lab?

Besides reviews and licenses, listen to your gut feeling - how do they handle appointments with you, is there chemistry, etc.

The other constraining factor is I have a pit/lab mix dog which probably precludes me from renting most places.

I don't drink, I don't smoke or do drugs, have never been arrested or in trouble with the law, and I am currently working on my Ph.D. in Chemistry at a top University.
