Mold In Your House or Apartment

Mold in our home is a common problem in Oregon due to our wet weather and mild temperatures. Mold needs moisture to grow. There may be structural problems in your home that is allowing water to enter your home, or your ventilation is not adequate, which allows too much moisture in the air.

In Clackamas County there are no government agencies that test for mold or enforce abatement. For renters, the Landlord-Tenant law is your tool for enforcement. You can contact legal-aid for legal advice. For information about housing rights and resources you can call 503-650-5750.
