10. MOLD DISCLOSURE: There are many types of mold. Inhabitable properties are not, and cannot be, constructed to exclude mold. Moisture is one of the most significant factors contributing to mold growth.

Information about controlling mold growth may be available from your county extension agent or health department. Certain strains of mold may cause damage to property and may adversely affect the health of susceptible persons, including allergic reactions that may include skin, eye, nose, and throat irritation. Certain strains of mold may cause infections, particularly in individuals with suppressed immune systems. Some experts contend that certain strains of mold may cause serious and even life-threatening diseases. However, experts do not agree about the nature and extent of the health problems caused by mold or about the level of mold exposure that may cause health problems. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is studying the link between mold and serious health conditions. The seller, landlord, seller’s agent, buyer’s agent, or property manager cannot and does not represent or warrant the absence of mold.

A seller, landlord, seller’s agent, buyer’s agent, or property manager who provides this mold disclosure statement, provides for the disclosure of any prior testing and any subsequent mitigation or treatment for mold, and discloses any knowledge of mold is not liable in any action based on the presence of or propensity for mold in a building that is subject to any contract to purchase, rent, or lease.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT: The undersigned Buyer/Tenant, Buyer’s Agent or Statutory Broker acknowledge receipt of this Disclosure, the test results (if available) and evidence of subsequent mitigation or treatment.

They further acknowledge that the Seller, Landlord, Seller’s Agent, Buyer’s Agent, Statutory Broker and/or Property Manager, who have provided this Disclosure, are not liable for any action based on the presence of or propensity for mold in the property. The undersigned, Seller, Landlord, Seller’s Agent and/or Property Manager disclose that they have knowledge that the building or buildings on the property have mold present in them. This disclosure is made in recognition that all inhabitable properties contain mold, as defined by the Montana Mold Disclosure Act (any mold, fungus, mildew or spores). The undersigned are not representing that a significant mold problem exists or does not exist on the property, as such a determination may only be made by a qualified inspector. If Seller/Landlord knows a building located on the property has been tested for mold, Seller/Landlord has previously provided or with this Disclosure provides the Buyer/Tenant a copy of the results of that test (if available) and evidence of any subsequent mitigation or treatment.

This mold disclosure is copied and pasted from State of Montana. We know of no significant mold on this property beyond the fact there is mold on every property.
