New Legislation Passed in the Tenant Landlord Act - Third party clearance needed!
 

Another aspect to consider is the new legislation passed in the Tenant Landlord Act. This is based upon good intentions within the legislation however places tenants in a precarious situation. It allows mold companies and a residential landlord to complete remediation and then pass along responsibility to the tenant upon signing of lease including property and belongings of the tenant. A third party clearance test could also prove beneficial in this scenario should future disputes arise regarding the success of the initial remediation.
