Mold Air Quality Testing · California
What are the rights of California renters regarding mold?
Short answer
California law requires landlords to provide a habitable living environment, which includes homes free from significant mold hazards. If a landlord fails to address a leak or visible mold, a tenant can hire ClearPoint for an independent assessment.
Under the California Health and Safety Code, visible mold is considered a substandard building condition if it endangers the health of occupants. If your landlord claims there isn't a problem, but you feel sick or smell mold, our independent testing provides the legal documentation you need. We are a testing-only company, meaning our reports are viewed as unbiased, third-party evidence that can be used to facilitate repairs or resolve lease disputes.
