I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

mold in apartment making family sick. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 8 years. My monthly rent is $4,013. I have a written lease.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Ngl i've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it just saying.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's bar association? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

This is one of those situations where even a quick legal consult pays for itself.

So this is more common than people think.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.
