Oh, absolutely.
The renting industry when it comes to mold is horrible.
Yeah.
And I honestly feel so heartbroken for all the people who are stuck in moldy rental situations and feel like they have very little power over their situation, especially if they didn't know about mold when they initially started renting and then
come to find out there's mold in their apartment or their rental home and it's making them sick, but they didn't think to look at the rental agreement having some kind of mold clause in it.
And so generally speaking, when I'm talking to renters and people are asking me for advice on what should I do as I'm stepping into a new rental situation, I say, look at your contract, make sure that there is a clause in there that allows you to take control of a situation if there's an environmental problem like mold or asbestos or something like that in your home.
where you can hire your own testing to be done, and then you are able to break your lease if you have tests come back that you ordered that are showing a toxic hazard in your place.
Well, it takes millions and millions of mold spores in a colony for that mold to become visible to the human eye.
So I think a lot of people assume that just because they can't see mold in their home means that there's not any, but it actually takes so much mold for even the tiniest little dot of
Mold like we've all seen it, right?
You've you've probably seen it in your shower or maybe even on the outside of your home You've seen like a little spot.
You're like, oh, that's a little mold like maybe on your windowsill That means there are millions and millions of mold spores in that one tiny spot and so people
wrongly assume that if they can't see anything in their house, that their house is totally fine.
But mold can can grow and it can be clear even sometimes too.
So just because you don't see black mold in your home doesn't actually mean that your home is mold free.
And also there's a lot of homes that are making people sick that have mold that is hidden.
So it may be behind your drywall.
It may be underneath your floors or your carpet.
It could be the lumber that was used to build your new construction home.
In fact,
