        "text": "Responsibility for mold removal typically depends on the cause of the mold and your lease agreement. Generally, landlords are responsible for maintaining a habitable living environment, which includes addressing issues that lead to mold, such as leaks or structural problems. If the mold resulted from tenant actions, like not properly ventilating or reporting a water leak, the tenant might share responsibility. It's important to document the mold, notify your landlord in writing, and review your lease to understand your rights and obligations. Consulting a professional restoration company can help determine the source and scope.",
