Mold Legislation and Law

We, the undersigned, call upon the government of the United States of America to adopt standards for mold contamination in our homes, rental properties, schools and workplaces; to create laws requiring the disclosure of mold problems, both past and present, to potential home owners and renters nationwide; to research more fully the health issues related to mold and treatment options; and to create a standard of habitability for the buildings in which we live, learn, and work which includes mold as a public health concern.

We call for legislation that will hold all states to adhere to a policy that mold in our buildings is unsafe, and is an issue that will not go ignored.
We call for legislation that will allow both home owners and renters to be informed of the past or present contamination of mold in a building or home. We also ask that renters have the same state and federal resources for mold inspection available to them as home owners do in many states, including inspection and evaluation of mold problems within a rental property without recourse. We ask that before a property may be certified for rental, it includes inspection standards for mold.

We call for legislation that requires schools and workplaces to be evaluated for mold contamination and routinely inspected. We ask that these services will be provided to protect our children, employees, and businesses from the dangers of mold contamination, and that a standard is created for exposure. We ask that parents, students, and employees are informed about past or present mold issues in their schools and workplaces.

We call for legislation which protects ourselves and our fellow citizens from the dangers of daily exposure to mold in our homes, schools, and workplaces. We call for the action of our elected officials and leaders to help us in creating a safer nation without risk of our buildings making us ill.
