It is important that you take every step possible to prevent excess moisture in your home so that the landlord does not blame you for causing the mold problem. If you do find mold make sure you document it with pictures, witnesses, and with letters to your landlord in case you should need evidence for a [[Dispute Resolution for Tenants|dispute resolution hearing]]. You can also call your local health authority for more information about mold. (Look for the number in the blue pages of your local phonebook.) Or look on the [http://www.tenants.bc.ca/main/?mold TRAC Web site] for links to information about mold. | Mold is a major problem in many homes in BC given our damp climate.
