Hypothetical question

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

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 1 years. My monthly rent is $1,633. We are on a month-to-month now.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Illustrative response

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. Obviously I don't know all the details of your situation though.
