About Us: Mold in Rentals – Your Oregon Resource
Our Journey Begins (2015)
In 2015, we launched Mold in Rentals: What Oregon Tenants and Landlords Should Know with a simple yet powerful mission: to become the definitive online resource for understanding and addressing mold-related issues within rental properties in Oregon. We recognized an information gap that needed to be filled, as many tenants and landlords struggled to find accurate, unbiased guidance on this critical topic.
Our founding was inspired by personal experiences and the growing concern over the health implications of mold in living spaces. We saw a need for a comprehensive, accessible platform that could educate, inform, and empower both residents and property owners.
