Mold Case Against Apartment Owner to Proceed

[Guest guest]

A federal district court judge in Richmond, Virginia has allowed a personal

injury case to proceed against the owner of an apartment complex based on a

theory of liability that mold was present in the plaintiff's apartment in

violation of Virginia's Uniform Statewide Building Code (specifically Part III,

Maintenance). This early decision in the case does not establish that the

defendant owner of the apartment complex will ultimately be liable (i.e., the

defendant still has a chance to prove that it did not violate the Building Code

or that its violation was excusable) but the decision does represent a

potentially precedent setting theory of liability of which apartment owners

should be aware.
