What Happened: Upon taking possession of the premises she had just leased for use as a daycare center, a tenant detected a strange odor. It turned out to be mold, and the environmental consultant’s report showed that it was all over the walls and in the carpeting of the spaces designated for classroom use. The tenant told the landlord she was rescinding the lease. The landlord offered to let her out if she paid six months’ rent or forfeited the security deposit. The tenant chose none of the above and instead sued the landlord.
