Residential Lease Addenda - Mold Disclosure - Wisconsin

MOLD DISCLOSURE AND RESPONSE RECORD ADDENDUM

to Residential Lease Agreement — Wisconsin

1. Document Header

The parties use this addendum to create a factual record and coordinate logistics. If the parties want this addendum to change a Lease term or create an operative obligation, Wisconsin housing counsel must identify and approve that language separately.

2. Known Conditions at Signing

For each item, attach photographs, reports, work orders, invoices, or prior notices when available.

Source of each statement: [personal observation / tenant report / work order / report / other: ______]

This section records what the signing parties know from the identified sources. It is not a certification that the Premises is mold-free, habitable, safe, remediated, or free of hidden conditions.

3. Prior Events and Work

4. Notice and Contact Procedure

4.1 Notice Contents

A moisture or suspected mold notice should identify:

• visible staining, growth, odor, or damaged material;
• photographs or other available records;
• any urgent access, safety, or health concern stated by the reporting person; and
• a reliable contact method for scheduling access.

This addendum does not select a legally sufficient notice method or deadline. Use a method permitted by the Lease and current law and preserve delivery proof.

This contact instruction does not replace emergency services or a legally required notice.

Any agreement about relocation, lodging, rent, personal property, reimbursement, repair cost, lease termination, or another remedy must be written separately after review of the facts, Lease, insurance, and current law.

6. Practical Prevention and Record Practices

The following are practical reporting and housekeeping choices, not findings that one party caused a condition or waived a legal right.

Landlord or Manager

☐ Provide a working contact route for leaks and moisture reports.

☐ Track reported roof, plumbing, exterior, drainage, appliance, ventilation, and HVAC issues.

☐ Document inspections, work authorization, access attempts, and completion.

Tenant

☐ Report leaks, flooding, persistent condensation, visible growth or staining, and musty odor without avoidable delay.

☐ Use installed ventilation and avoid blocking supply or return vents.

☐ Allow agreed or legally authorized access and identify access constraints promptly.

☐ Avoid painting over or concealing a reported condition before it is documented.

Shared Record

☐ Preserve photographs, notices, reports, invoices, work orders, and completion communications.

No fixed humidity, fan-use, filter-replacement, notice, entry, cure, or completion period is imposed by these practical prompts.

7. Completion Record

Remaining or Recurring Condition

☐ No condition remains known to the signing parties based only on the records identified here.

☐ The following condition remains, recurred, or requires monitoring: [DETAILS]

Personal Property

This addendum makes no causation, value, insurance-coverage, reimbursement, disposal, or damages decision concerning personal property. Record affected items and preserve evidence separately.

8. Lease and Legal Review Gates

1. This addendum supplements the Lease only as to factual records and agreed logistics written here.
2. It does not waive, expand, limit, or decide a duty, remedy, defense, notice rule, access rule, rent issue, fee claim, insurance question, causation issue, technical standard, or court jurisdiction.
3. Counsel must review any proposed deadline, repair obligation, reimbursement, relocation, termination, release, indemnity, damages limit, attorney-fee term, arbitration term, jury term, forum term, force-majeure term, or electronic-signature process before it is added.
4. Blank fields create no agreement. A target date is a scheduling goal unless the parties expressly state otherwise in a reviewed writing.
5. Do not sign a statement about absence, correction, completion, responsibility, or causation unless the identified records support it.
