Damp & mould compliance software in Canada.
Canada has no single nationwide social-housing maintenance rule. Providers work under provincial, territorial, municipal and programme requirements, while Health Canada provides national health guidance on indoor moisture and mould.
The applicable regime
Provincial and territorial maintenance rules, supported by Health Canada's moisture and mould guidance.
Three local evidence priorities
1.Attach the correct jurisdiction
Record province or territory, municipality, housing programme and the property standard supplied for the instruction. A Canadian national label alone is not enough to select a legal checklist.
2.Prioritise visible moisture and its source
Health Canada recommends identifying and controlling moisture rather than routine mould-air testing. Capture leaks, condensation, flooding history, ventilation, visible growth and the extent and location of affected materials.
3.Protect vulnerable-resident and follow-up context
Keep resident concerns, access, interim advice, repair orders and later verification linked to the property. Health conclusions remain for healthcare professionals and legal compliance remains jurisdiction-specific.
Which province, municipality and programme set the requirement?
For a Canadian property, make that jurisdiction chain explicit before applying a checklist. Health Canada's moisture guidance can inform good evidence capture, but it does not replace the tenancy and maintenance rules that govern the dwelling.

- Contemporaneous — captured on site, at the time, geo-stamped to the property.
