It not only affects tenants but has a negative effect on property owners as well. It is lose/lose for both parties, with tenants having unlivable and dangerous environments, and property owners losing valuable rental income, while doing expensive damage repair.
All prospective buyers and renters should have a mold inspection done prior to a financial agreement, and if there is a mold problem, it is best to have it professional remediated and prevented to avoid any future problems.
