Tenant asks to test for Asbestos in Ceiling after rain damage
I am wondering if anyone has suggestions as to what to do when a tenant in Los Angeles asks for Asbestos testing. The ceiling damage looks swollen due to the water from aroof leak. There is a small crack in the swollen paint. The area of the damage is about 2 x 3 ft. it is in the hallway.
The home also has popcorn ceiling in the living room that looks old but undamaged. Should I test this ceiling for asbestos even though it looks undamaged?
Does repairing the damaged ceiling in the hallway pose such health risk that Asbestos need to be tested? If you do not test, will you be liable for future issues relating to Asbestos?
Thanks,
Jome
