That also includes a mold infestation, which may or may not be directly related to personal property in your household.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some tips on filing a mold complaint:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Notification<\/strong> &#8212; Notify your property manager of mold. Orally notifying them is good, but always take it one step further by writing a letter and making a duplicate, then putting it in the property managers mailbox. Make sure it&#8217;s dated, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Pictures<\/strong> &#8212; Take pictures of the mold problem; you can even use your cell phone if it has a camera. Make sure you get several angles, and offload the pictures to a computer. If needed for evidence, you&#8217;ll know where to find them and they won&#8217;t be inadvertently deleted from your phone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 File a Written Complaint<\/strong> &#8212; If the property manager or owner of the building won&#8217;t act quickly for mold treatment, you can file a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/blog\/2016\/12\/12\/mold-oshas-recognition-of-the-hazard\/\" target=\"_self\">written complaint <\/a>with the housing department in your city, town or jurisdiction. Check online or go down to City Hall and ask questions about filing a legal complaint.<\/p>\n<p>In most situations your property manager will be willing to help cure any mold problem that you may find. It&#8217;s in their best interest to take care of the problem as quickly and effectively as possible, to prevent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/blog\/2016\/12\/14\/is-mold-causing-your-sinus-infection\/\" target=\"_self\">health issues<\/a> or legal actions from affecting their bottom line.<\/p>\n<p>If you have questions about mold treatment in your rental, please contact <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/\" target=\"_self\">Stern Mold<\/a>.
