HOA Dispute — mold in apartment making family sick

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

mold in apartment making family sick. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 3 years. My monthly rent is $4,421. We are on a month-to-month now.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the implied warranty of habitability, which requires showing uninhabitable.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

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

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.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

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

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
