In Texas, Does My Landlord Have to Fix Mold Issues?
In Texas, do landlords have to fix mold issues? Landlords are obligated to fix anything that "materially affects the physical health or safety of an ordinary tenant." There is mold in every home, and not all mold issues will meet the threshold of materially affecting health, but some mold issues might. See the following information from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), and make sure you know your rights as a tenant, understand your lease, and have properly inspected a rental unit BEFORE entering into any agreement. If you are a landlord wanting to know about your specific situation, please reach out.
