Given that temporary conditions or measures (e.g., drought, adding downspout extensions, etc.), may easily prevent the underlying cause of the mold formation to go into abeyance, or otherwise render the condition as one that is not readily identifiable/observable (by the purchaser or their inspector), has the investor, whether through lack of knowledge in understanding that mold is not, in and of itself, the problem, but rather evidence of another problem (and so did not correct the underlying cause) or simply from a lack of ethics, free from accountability if the property is sold "as is"?
