Do landlords have to provide alternative housing for tenants while mold is being fixed? They are not paying rent during this.
Tenants in a rented house reported what they think is a mold problem. Landlord called insurance and they sent someone to look at the issue. They did not do an inspectiong due to not seeing any mold. Tenants did at home test and say there is mold. They are taking children to doctors for suppossed health issues. Landlord is in the process of having a contractor fix the mold issue and submitting the costs to insurance. Landlord let the tenant out of month of rent and paid for a hotel for most of the month of May. Now, he is not obligating tenants to pay rent until the issue is fixed and they can move back in. Tenants are asking for landlord to pay for alternate accomodations. Is landlord obligated to do this?
