Regarding popcorn sealing

I was thinking of moving and looking at condo listings in central Waikiki.

When I came to Hawaii, I didn't know about it and lived there, but
along the way, a friend told me about it and informed me of the dangers of popcorn sealing.
They said it was a ceiling treatment that contained asbestos, and that if you touched it in any way, or on a dry day, the powder would fly around and if you inhaled it, you would get lung cancer.

The room we looked at this time had a popcorn ceiling, but
the owner was trying to rent it without explaining that at all, so we are not going to rent it.

Many of the condos in Waikiki have popcorn ceilings, so if you are going to rent a condo, I would recommend that you find a place with a clean ceiling and sign a contract to avoid health hazards.

I don't know if the room that #9 is living in contains asbestos or not, but
before talking about asbestos, it would be too much of a problem for a room to have powder falling from the ceiling if it is touched or vibrated slightly
.
I think you should move out as soon as possible.

When you sign a lease, you can get a document from the real estate agent
certifying that there are no hazardous substances used in the painting, building materials, etc.

If the apartment is rented by a real estate agent, you can get this document from him or her. In my previous apartment, the real estate agent gave me this document when I signed the contract.

！
Most of Royal Kuhio and Ai Koro have ceilings with asbestos.
If the window is facing west, asbestos will be flying in the wind, which is bad for your health.
If you have to choose, you should choose a room with a window on the east or north.

After seeing the Florida condo collapse, I'm starting to wonder if the older condos in Waikiki are safe. Like Miami, Hawaii is constantly exposed to rain and sea breezes, so I guess it is the same environment.
Are the regulations in Florida and Hawaii at a similar level ？?
