Breaking the mould: why rental properties are more likely to be mouldy and what's needed to stop people getting sick

Retrieved on: 
Monday, May 15, 2023

Rental properties are more likely be mouldy than other homes.

Key Points: 
  • Rental properties are more likely be mouldy than other homes.
  • Once buildings are infested with mould, the difficult and costly issue of remediation arises.
  • Landlords and tenants are caught in the middle of a tussle over who is responsible for fixing the problem.

Ideal conditions for growth

    • Mould is a fungal growth that reproduces via tiny airborne particles called spores.
    • When these spores settle on moist, plant-based construction materials such as wood, wallpaper or plasterboard, they can form a new colony.
    • Growth is more likely when homes are cold, humid, lack air flow, or suffer from water damage.

How mould makes people sick

    • A 2022 Asthma Australia report revealed people living in mouldy homes were more likely to have asthma and allergies.
    • Advice from an expert on mould and damp

Problems with managing mould in the rental sector

    • A building deemed to meet the minimum standards of the construction code with respect to mould may not meet the minimum standards for rental.
    • That’s because there’s ambiguity in the National Construction Code around “minimum standards of health”.
    • However, there is no guidance on how to assess the health of the indoor environment, or to deliver a building direction that will address the root cause for mould.
    • Each winter, Tenants Victoria deals with a spike in renters seeking legal help to resolve their mould problems.

Charting mould in homes across Australia

    Where does the responsibility lie?

      • In Victoria, residential tenancies legislation has set the criteria that “each room in the rented premises must be free from mould and damp caused by or related to the building structure”.
      • Landlords now must disclose if they have treated mould in the past three years.
      • For the most part, the responsibility for mould in rental properties lies with landlords if the cause is structural –- for example, if a broken or faulty window frame has let rainwater inside.

    What next?

      • And that that be available to tenants […] before they enter into a lease or before (the property is) even able to be advertised.
