A couple months ago, my tenant gave me notice she will be looking for another place.
She has been renting my house for 3 years.
She emailed me this morning and said she will be moving out at the end of the month and was packing things from the hall closet and noticed "black mold" growing in the closet and also on items in the closet. Probably coming from the bathroom.
She goes on to say "I have reported this to public health so that I can have testing done to see if the mold is the cause of my illness for the past year."
I'm not sure what her illness is/has been but in one email she mentioned she was seeing an oncologist so that's not good.
It sounds as if she is going to ask for damages/sue? ugh!!!
Can she do that? Am I liable even if I had no idea at all about "mold" until this morning's email??
Any advice?
