Tenant found mold

Frank Nguyen

Hi all,

I had a mid term tenant send me a picture of what is apparently mold in the bedroom closet. I asked through text if I could come over that night to look at it so I could get it taken care of but he told me he needed to rest. So I followed up over the next couple of days but he didnt respond. I got a text about a week later that he was leaving because he believed he was getting sick from the mold and that I would be “hearing from him”. I personally believe his contract job contract got cancelled as i know others from his company left that same week. I tried calling him and told him to call so we could discuss the matter. He will only communicate through text. He asks me what i am going to do to make this  “right” and i responded with what do you want me to do? After a bunch of back and forth he refuses to answer my question and make an actual request. He then says he is going to get a lawyer involved if i dont feel like i owe him anything. He is also no longer here locally and he left some belongings that i have in storage. Is there anything i should be concerned about given there is no actual proof that he got sick from the mold other than the pictures? Any advice? I have since had the area remediated.
