Regulatory Review of Mold Inspections
 

Based on what I see conducting mold inspections in the field weekly, there is a definite need for consumer protection for clients from: uncertified, unqualified inspectors; uncertified, unqualified remediators; landlords who ignore mold problems, landlords who threaten eviction or raising rent for complainers, landlords who send in uncertified, unqualified maintenance staff to improperly remediate problems. Renters need a safe place to complain about the unhealthy conditions they are forced to live in without retribution and the safe knowledge that the inspectors and remediators not only know what they are doing but the results of the work show an independent clean bill of health.
