Tenant Mold Claims Against Landlords

California Mold Lawyers Specializing in Mold Litigation

Our dedicated team of mold lawyers at The Regan Law Firm represents landlords responding to tenant mold allegations. With years of experience in mold litigation, we ensure landlords’ legal and financial interests are protected and provide clear direction when responding to mold-related claims.

As mold Lawyers, what do we do:

Very few firms have our experience or knowledge in mold litigation.

• We advise landlords and homeowners with mold issues and how to respond to claims involving tenant allegations. Our landlord clients own rentals throughout California and range from “mom and pop” owners of one unit, to large landlords that own dozens of properties. 
• Our firm is often called on to consult or advise attorneys and landlords regarding mold claims. Because of this, we’ve seen and handled claims from all sides, which gives us a unique perspective on how to defend and manage landlord exposure in these matters. 
• We receive a tremendous amount of inquiries asking, “what do I do next?” when a mold issue is reported in a rental property.
• Some firms provide a generic call for free with an “intake person” – we don’t. We provide a review of your documents and situation, with a follow-up consultation with an attorney to discuss our analysis, for an initial fee of $395, which can be paid online via credit card.

• We offer this service 7 days a week, and are available to discuss before and after “work hours.”​

How do we handle a mold lawsuit? 

• Mold lawsuits often involve overlapping issues of habitability and personal injury claims brought by tenants. Some lawyers are solely habitability lawyers and others are solely personal injury lawyers.
• Some lawyers focus only on habitability, while others focus only on personal injury. Effective landlord representation by a mold lawyer requires understanding how these claims intersect and how they are defended.
• What type of claims are being made? The wrong framing of allegations or defenses can significantly affect exposure and liability.
• What type of evidence do you need? Documentation such as maintenance records, repair timelines, inspection reports, and testing data can determine how a claim develops.

Why choose us as your mold lawyers?

We’re the lawyers that other lawyers call when they have a mold problem.

• You’ll find so much conflicting and misleading information about mold online – we help break it down, analyze it, and explain how it applies to your position as a landlord.
• Our backgrounds are unique and unmatched, from working inside the courthouse to handling cases from multiple perspectives. We bring a practical understanding of how mold claims are investigated, defended, and resolved. This area of law requires a working knowledge of California housing standards, local ordinances, and personal injury principles tied to exposure claims.
• Some lawyers primarily handle personal injury or habitability cases and occasionally take on mold matters. We focus on mold-related disputes and how they impact property owners.
• Understanding testing methods (air, ERMI, bulk sampling), mold types, and qualified experts (pulmonologists or environmental professionals) can affect how a claim is evaluated and defended.
• We take most cases on a contingency basis (which means we do not get paid unless you win your case).

Ask other lawyers how many mold inquiries they’ve had in the last week – then ask us.
