Many landlords do not care if their tenants suffer
severe health problems by living in mold infested apartments and rental
houses. Similarly, many employers do not care if their employees and/or
customers experience significant mold-related health problems by working
in or visiting in mold-contaminated workplaces such as mold-ridden
schools, hospitals, nursing homes, stores, offices, and warehouses.. In
addition, many real estate sellers and real estate brokers/agents
purposely fail to disclose to prospective buyers the existence of known
mold infestation problems in the homes or other buildings being offered
for sale. Moreover, many hotels, motels, bed-and-breakfasts, and other
lodging facilities fail to disclose to prospective room guests the
existence of serious mold infestation in their room accommodations.
As a public health service of the Mold Inspector Laboratory
International, Ltd., [Belize], what this new [September 1, 2004]
Moldy Building Warning List does is to enable the
readily-available and searchable, internet, posting and publication of the
specific and detailed identity and geographic locations and addresses of
moldy properties which have been mold tested by tenants, employees,
prospective or actual real estate buyers, lodging guests, and other
interested parties. Why would such concerned parties want to post the
identity and location addresses of moldy properties to the
Warning List? Very simply: to warn other present,
prospective, or future tenants, employees, buyers, lodging guests,
visitors, and others about the undisclosed and often hidden mold
environmental health threats and risks associated with the posted
mold-infested properties. |
