Do I have to remove mold before selling my house?
The response depends on the condition, applicable requirements, and the sale agreement. Cleanup, a concession, or a sale with a known condition may be options, but none automatically removes disclosure obligations.
What to consider
Establish what is known before deciding who will do the work. An assessment can explain observed growth, moisture concerns, and areas needing further investigation.
Get qualified contractor advice when cleanup or moisture repairs are indicated. Avoid covering a visible concern with paint or treating it as resolved without addressing the source.
Discuss disclosure and transaction terms with your agent or attorney. Mold Clarity provides an independent property assessment, not a legal opinion or a remediation service.
