There is no harm in reaching out early, but technically there isn't much work to be done on the lenders side until you have a buyer in place.

The best thing you can do to protect yourself is to have the basement tested for mold by a company that does only mold testing and not an abatement company.At the same time, you can send your tenant a letter warning them that they will be liable for mold testing if no harmful mold is found and you will pay for testing if any harmful mold is found.The very next thing we do is; send your tenant a certified letter telling them that if they suspect their health is at risk for any reason that relates to their rental unit then your tenant should not reside in your unit for one more minute and should move to a place they feel is safe because you will not assume liability for exacerbating their health issues, if any health issue in regards to mold exists.At this stage, all communications must be in writing and well-thought before communicating.Your situation has happened to us several times and we had a tenant who lived in a brand new unit for only 10 days and he told us he was vomiting and had nose bleeds that resulted from mold.
