Margaret Konze for Myself Pembroke Please. We need this. I have a window full of mold since 2021 my landlord refuses to do anything about. I can hardly see out of it. It’s disgusting. | Pembroke | Support | 149 | Jan 27, 2026 | |
Jane Haigh for Myself Manchester Mold can create serious health problems | Manchester | Support | 39 | Jan 27, 2026 | |
Kathleen Lord for Myself NORTHWOOD Vote ITL, it has many problems: ~Mold spores are everywhere. All they need is water and food. ~Many instances of mold are caused by a tenant, however the bill puts all blame for all mold squarely on the landlord. ~Something like bedbug law is needed that put responsibility on tenants and landlords depending on who is responsible. ~There are easily available low cost products now that very reliably handle mold. We don’t need heavy handed expensive regulations that increase the cost of housing. ~The bill specifically calls out extra mold enforcement provisions not used for other minimum standards | NORTHWOOD | Oppose | 609 | Jan 27, 2026 | |
