You're right...missing information. The problem I see is that in order for mold to grow, it must have a continuous source of moisture. Landlord stated that "the mold had moved through the wall to the other side and had gotten into the insulation". That to me ,means that there was a continuous source of moisture. I doubt that the car cover was wet enough that often, besides the landlord stated " I see it hanging up and also stuffed under a laundry sink on two occasions".

I've done a lot of mold research since this cropped up. Mold doesn't need a continuous source of moisture, it needs moisture to start to grow, once established, it can continue to grow from the moisture in the air.

Why did you get a mold expert right away? Was it because you had mold problem before? The judge found you had no proof the tenant caused any damage and that there was mold and not mildew. That's why you lost your case, you were over reaching in your claim. Move On!

I got a mold expert because I know that mold can have serious health effects for anyone exposed. It's what a responsible landlord would do. My point is that in spite of doing everything correctly, I still get shafted by a negligent tenant. This is why I am not going to continue as a landlord. I am tired of trying to provide a decent place to live only to repeatedly have to deal with liars and cheats. And yes, I do background screenings and followups. Why don't you get over it?
