How should I check an apartment near Stanford University for moisture, leaks, or mold before moving in?
DIRECT ANSWER
Look and smell for active moisture problems, staining, leaks, condensation and visible growth in the exact unit. EPA guidance emphasizes moisture control: a mold problem should not be separated from the water source causing it.
- the exact unit rather than a model when possible
- documented condition at move-in and the written maintenance process
- objective moisture, pest, HVAC, water, laundry and connectivity checks
