These guidelines describe Resident’s reporting, housekeeping and other obligations to help prevent the growth of mold and mildew in Resident’s unit. Breach of the practices described herein can result in the growth of mold in the Premises of the Building, which condition could cause (a) illness to Resident or other occupants in the Premises or Building, and (b) damage to the Premises or Building. At the time of Resident’s move-in, resident shall note on the Move In Inspection Sheet the presence of any mold or mildew observed by Resident at the time of Resident’s initial inspection of the Premises. After move in, if Resident observes or otherwise becomes aware of the presence of mold, mildew, water intrusion or dampness in the Premises (for example, water leakage from drains or faucets, discoloration of walls or ceilings, dampness in cabinets, musty odors in closets, or similar condition-any such condition is hereinafter referred to as a “Mold/Mildew Condition”). Resident shall immediately report the Mold/Mildew Condition to the Business Office. Resident shall be responsible for cleaning the Premises, maintaining appropriate climate control within the Premises, and complying with the provisions of these guidelines to retard and help prevent the occurrence of a Mold /Mildew Condition in the Premises. Resident agrees to comply with the practices listed on the “Mold/Mildew Prevention Tips” listed below during Resident’s occupancy of the Premises. In the event that a Mold/Mildew Condition is discovered in the Premises or the Building, Resident agrees that Landlord shall have the right to evaluate such condition and take appropriate corrective action to remediate the Mold/Mildew Condition. Resident further acknowledges that Landlord may relocate Resident, either on a temporary or permanent basis, in order to remediate the Mold/Mildew Condition and repair the Premises in accordance with the provisions of the Lease. MOLD PREVENTION TIPS: • Open the windows from time to time during sunny and dry weather. Proper ventilation is essential. When rain or bad weather makes it unwise to open windows, run the fan on the Premises heating/air conditioning thermostat, if applicable, to circulate fresh air throughout the Premises. • Clean and dust the Premises on a regular basis. Regular vacuuming, mopping and use of environmentally safe household cleaners is important to remove household dirt and debris that contribute to mold growth. • Periodically clean and dry the walls and floors around the sinks, bathtubs, showers, toilets, windows and patio doors using a common household disinfecting cleaner. Thoroughly dry any spills on carpets. • Wipe down and dry areas where moisture sometimes accumulates, like countertops, windows, and windowsills. Periodically check for leaks, especially around windows, exterior doors, under sinks and around toilets. • When showering, be sure the shower door or curtain is closed completely so that water does not run on the wall or accumulate on the floor. • Use the pre-installed bathroom fan, if applicable, or open the bathroom window, if applicable, when bathing or showering and allow the fan to run until all excess moisture has vented from the bathroom. • Use the exhaust fan in the kitchen when cooking or while the dishwasher is running and allow the fan to run until all excess moisture has vented from the kitchen. • Use care when watering houseplants. If spills occur, dry up the excess water immediately. Use a saucer or catch basin under any plant sitting directly on the floor. • Do not overfill closets or storage area. Adequate ventilation will help to prevent the growth of mold/mildew. Do not allow damp clothes or other cloth materials to lie in piles for extended periods of time. • Immediately report to the Business Office any evidence of a water leak or excessive moisture in the Premises, storage room, garage or any common area, any inoperable windows or locks, and any musty odors noticed in the Premises. • Immediately report to the Business Office any evidence of mold/mildew growth that cannot be removed by simply applying a common household cleaner and wiping the area. Also report any area of mold/mildew that reappears despite regular cleaning. • Immediately report to the Business Office any failure or malfunction with the heating, ventilation, air-conditioning system, or laundry facilities. Do not block or cover any of the heating, ventilation or air-conditioning ducts in the Premises. All rules and regulations listed in this Agreement must be strictly adhered to. The observance of the rules helps to insure that our apartments will be a pleasant home for all residents.
