Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

mold in apartment making family sick. I've been dealing with this for about 14 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 7 years. My monthly rent is $3,855. I have a written lease.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

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.

So this is more common than people think.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
