Keep clear records and a repair plan. First, check the concern. Then, explain the work and keep tenants informed.
Note the date, location and signs of dampness. Also, keep photos and copies of messages so the history is clear.
Look for leaks, damp materials and poor airflow. Then, decide what needs work and how soon it should start.
Follow Ontario’s notice and entry rules. A repair request does not mean the landlord may enter at any time.
Match the work to the affected materials. Also, seek trained help for large areas or growth that keeps coming back.
Fix the moisture problem as part of the plan. Otherwise, mould can return even after the visible patch is cleaned.
Keep a written scope and job records. If the parties disagree about who caused the damage, get advice on costs.
Tenants should use the proper channels for repair complaints. Also, do not withhold rent or deduct costs on your own.
Finally, review the repairs and cleanup. Watch for returning dampness or odours, and tell the tenant about any further work.
