Who has to fix mold in a rental depends on your state. Pick yours to see how it typically works, and who to call if your landlord will not act.
Most states expect landlords to keep a rental livable, which usually puts building-caused mold on their side of the line. The details vary, so this lookup gives you a plain-language read on your state, then points you to the letter that gets things moving.
Generate your notice letter
A dated written notice is the step that starts the clock. Build one in minutes.
Repair request with a deadline
A firmer letter that names an exact repair-by date.
All renter mold guides
Documenting evidence, deposits, lease questions, and what to do when a landlord will not fix mold.
General guidance, not legal advice
Rules differ by state and situation, and they change. For a dispute or a health concern, contact your local housing or health department, or a tenant-rights organization or legal aid office in your area.
Wherever you rent, the pattern is the same: put the problem in writing, keep dated records, and escalate to your local housing or health authority if the landlord will not act.
