The issue

A dear friend of ours recently fell ill due to a mould-infested air conditioner in their rented home. This incident has highlighted the urgent need for regular inspections of air conditioning units in rental properties. It is crucial that every time a tenant moves out, these units are thoroughly checked for mould and cleanliness.

Mould exposure can lead to serious health issues including respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and even mental health problems (Source: CDC). Despite this risk, there is currently no legal requirement for landlords or property managers to ensure the cleanliness of air conditioning units between tenancies.

This petition seeks to change that. We urge lawmakers to implement regulations requiring all rental properties to have their air conditioners inspected for mould and overall cleanliness each time a tenant vacates the property. This simple step could prevent future tenants from suffering unnecessary illness due to poor maintenance practices.

Please sign this petition today and help us protect renters' health by ensuring clean living conditions in all rental properties.
