Commercial tenant has minor roofleak, wants mold abatement....
I recently purchased my first commercial property. 2 weeks ago the tenant reached out regarding a roofleak. We've had some decent monsoon storms and it has backed up roofing companies. I decided to have my handyman patch the roof and do the drywall repair. The damaged area is roughly 12"x12". I wanted to complete the roof repairs before repairing the drywall for obvious reasons.
Now the tenant is requesting a mold abatement company. I know the damage doesn't require abatement. How do I address their mold concerns (without costing me a mini fortune which an abatement company will gladly charge) When do you call in abatement company and when do you just cut out the area and repair.
Thanks in advance,
Casey
