Tenant Complaints about Mold
- How many of you have received at least one in the past year?
- Does this look familiar at all?
- Let’s reframe the issue: mold is not the root cause – moisture is.
Common Moisture Sources
- Bathroom/Kitchen/Lights/Home Heat rising in the winter – dew point causes condensation
- Roof leaks
- Bathroom Fan Unattached to Roof Vent
- Dryer Vents unsealed to roof vents
- Poor ventilation (attics, crawl spaces)
- Too much insulation
- Exterior drainage issues (crawl space)
Moisture Fuels Mold
- Mold begins growing when materials hit ~16% moisture content
- Organic materials like wood & drywall
- Mold grows in 24–48 hours
- Often hidden before visible
EPA Comparison
| Hazard | EPA Regulated | Disclosure Required | Tenant Health Risk? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lead | Yes | Yes (pre-1978) | High – Neurological |
| Asbestos | Yes | Yes (renovation) | High – Respiratory |
| Mold | No | No | High – Respiratory |
Mold isn’t federally regulated – which in some ways makes it even more risky for landlords
Washington Habitability Laws
- RCW 59.18.060 – Fit for Human Habitation
- Mold = Health Hazard = Violation
- Failing to act = legal exposure
- “Reasonable time to repair” includes hidden moisture
Proactive Landlord Actions

- Check crawlspaces, attics, bathrooms

Takeaways
