Re: mold in the house

Mr. Koenen is correct with his advise to you. You should keep records of everything and you may have a civil law suit against the owner. We can help you with that and handle cases throughout California. You should make sure that you have not been physically affected by the mold. Our firm has an expert in molds that we use.

Re: mold in the house

Mold has become a serious issue in real estate. There are some molds that can be toxic.

The fact that you rent increases his level of responsibility. Contact the local health services department for the city or county in which you live. If there is any kind of rent control in your area, contact them as well.

They will pay a visit to you, and if the propblem is serious, they will issue an order to the landlord to correct the problem.
