Mold and Mildew and Portland real-estate properties.

MOLD/MILDEW

Prevent it or be left to Identify and Treat it

MOLD AND MILDEW…its Oregon, live with it……………

NOT if you are a landlord or property manager.   Mold and mildew present potential serious problems if not detected and addressed EARLY.

Because of the potential seriousness that mold and mildew pose we use a form, in our initial lease documents, that addresses the tenant’s responsibility to notify the landlord/Property Manager of any and all moisture problems in the rental unit.

Mold and mildew thrive in cool moist environments and can be toxic to some people.  If a potential problem of moisture is addressed early it can usually be corrected before there are any serious and/or costly consequences.

Common problem areas are leaking sinks, bathroom plumbing, bath fans that do not adequately remove the warm moist air after a shower,  defective gutters and roofs and areas where there is little or no air circulation.

If you think there is a potential mold/mildew problem ADDRESS IT …don’t hope it will go away.

Thanks, JCON Properties, Your Pacific Northwest property management company.
