Explanation
Illinois does not have a separate Mold Disclosure Act. However, mold is covered under the Illinois Residential Real Property Disclosure Act—sellers must disclose known material defects, which includes known mold conditions. Additionally, water infiltration, moisture problems, and flooding (common causes of mold) must be disclosed. Buyers should conduct their own inspections, and mold testing can be added as a contract contingency.
