Is it ok to test for Radon while the sellers are moving their stuff out of the house?

Not if the exterior doors will be propped open for long periods of time.

If the radon monitor is dropped off during the inspection and they start moving out the next day, they may not only disturb the monitor, but they might prop open outside doors.

This violates closed-home conditions which states all exterior doors and windows must stay closed for the duration of the test.

Otherwise, the results may become contaminated and the home will have to be retested.

It’s better to drop off the Radon monitor BEFORE the home inspection so that you get the Radon results back before they start moving out.
