Anyone have abestos siding in rental properties? When disclose it do you have any issue renting it out? I am considering putting vinyl siding over current siding but not sure how much will cost. Do you have any contractors you can refer ? I am in Lynn. Thank you. --24.34.xxx.xx |

I have several with asbestos shingles. I've never had anyone ask about it and there are no requirements to disclose. Asbestos is fine unless you break it up and sniff the fibers like brake mechanics did for years. Just leave it alone and enjoy how well it holds up to the element. --64.130.xx.xx |

I had siding composed of some asbestos. I conducted a test and determined people rubbing against it would send asbestos fibers into the air......a NO-NO in California.
So I had several choices. I chose the easiest and cheapest way to go. Encapsulation. I purchased the most expensive primer of my life. It is a Bonding Primer that will adhere to the siding, covering all exposed surfaces. Then one the Bonding Primer Dried, I could put a custom painting on it for a desired finish.

As long as the siding is sound & in good condition there isn't any MA law that I'm aware of that would require you to notify anyone that your cement board siding may or may not contain asbestos. Knowing the area where your building is located, I would be more concerned about the possibility of there being lead paint on either the interior or the exterior of the building.
IMO right now with the material & labor issues (availability, prices, lead times, permitting, inspections, etc) would not be a good time to do any unnecessary renovations of rental properties.
In case you haven't rented anything recently rents in the 01901-05 have skyrocketed in the last couple of years. --71.184.xxx.xx |

I once had a house for rent. (WWII cottage, 1945, 850 sf 2/1 with original siding.) Someone contacted me about being interested in renting it from us, because back in the day, her boyfriend used to live there. I knew what condition it was in when we got it in 2011, so if he had lived there anytime since the 80's, they totally weren't people I'd be willing to consider. ;)
As a bargaining point, she tried saying, "I know the siding is asbestos, so maybe you can knock some of the rent off?"
And I'm like, "Asbestos siding isn't a problem, unless you're planning on crumbling it up and breathing it in. But if it's something that you're not comfortable with, I definitely don't think you ought to rent a house that you feel is dangerous."
She didn't really have an answer for that, because that wasn't how she expected the conversation to go.
(When I have to patch in missing asbestos siding, I've been using that fiber cement siding. It's not the cheapest siding, by far, and it doesn't come in the variety of colors that the asbestos used to, but it's the right size and shape.) --137.118.xx.xxx |

A cool hipster musician in Alameda pointed out the asbestos siding on the Victorian home he was renting. He mentioned it because I had remarked how beautiful his place was. He was very proud to live there, and he probably was very lliberal.
You can choose tenants who are smart and cooperative enough to adhere to your lease clause. Best of luck on filling your rental.

The neighborhood I grew up in was identical tract homes all with pastel asbestos siding. Pastel blue, green, pink, yellow or white. Built in 1958. I wish I had a color photo from back then. Most of the houses still have the siding. They have all been painted. Holds paint really well. --174.53.xxx.xxx |

If you try to get someone to put siding on top of that it would actually release asbestos fibers into the air. Please read or re read what Robert J. (CA) said and do that. --108.24.xx.xx |
