Steven, the tenant actually filed a complaint with the government air quality bureau, and they mandated asbestos testing and warned me on proper removal of asbestos materials.The govt inspector said there was a 100 sqft rule, and I have 1000 sqft of popcorn, and only owner/occupant (you actually live in the rental) can remove asbestos.So I have to be careful about doing it myself, as I don't actually occupy the rental.But my question remains... once you disclose asbestos to applicants, how often do they back out?
