Mold in rental apartments: Who is really liable for the damage?
Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - The winter disputes between tenants and landlords about mold and false ventilation are a well -known phenomenon in Austria. Due to moisture in the apartments, there are often conflict -rich disputes, which in many cases even end up in court. The main reason is the uncertainty who is responsible for mold formation. The Smart-Klima GmbH has now presented an innovative solution: the Klimagriff®. This unique system documents and optimizes ventilation behavior in living rooms to prevent such disputes from the outset.
The problem: mold and its causes
In many cases, the tenant is responsible for an improper ventilation, while the landlord must prove that there are no structural defects that lead to mold formation. The costs for reports can be quite high, between 600 and 3000 euros, depending on the complexity of the analysis. The structural defects include leaking roofs or poor insulation, for which the landlord is responsible. If, on the other hand, the tenant does not use the apartment correctly, it can be charged with the costs for the mold disposal, as Schimmelhilf24.de describes.
The Klimagriff® could play a crucial role here because it records the ventilation patterns and supports tenants in the correct ventilation. This could prevent considerable disputes between the parties and lead to both sides are satisfied. In an example, the use of the Klimagriff® in an apartment building could already be demonstrated within three months that there was inadequate ventilation, which led to no further moisture problems. The result: satisfied tenants and relaxed landlords.
