Many landlords do not care if their
tenants suffer severe health problems by living in mould infested
apartments and rental houses. Similarly, many employers do not care if
their employees and/or customers experience significant mould-related
health problems by working in or visiting in mould-contaminated workplaces
such as mould-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 mould 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 mould infestation in their
room accommodations.
As a public health service of the Mold Inspector Laboratory, Ltd.
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 mould 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 mould
environmental health threats and risks associated with the posted
mould-infested properties. |
