On the job

Mold and rental property habitability
Massachusetts law generally requires rental housing to be kept in a habitable condition. Significant mold growth can be a factor in meeting that standard.
This is not legal advice. Specific obligations should be discussed with an attorney. Documented remediation to the IICRC S520 standard provides a factual record for landlords and tenants.
For independent guidance on mold, moisture, and safe cleanup, see EPA: A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home and CDC: Basic Facts about Mold and Dampness.
- Documented inspection and remediation for landlord records
- Clear reporting a tenant can keep for their own records
- Straightforward communication about what was found and fixed
- Work performed to the same standard as any owner-occupied home

Turnover between tenants is a common time to discover previously unreported mold, as units are inspected more thoroughly.
Property managers often call the 24/7 line in response to active tenant complaints, seeking a fast, documented resolution.
- Between-tenant unit inspections and remediation
- Active tenant complaints needing prompt response

What property managers receive
