HOA Dispute — mold in apartment making family sick

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 16 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been in this property for 1 years. My monthly rent is $3,154. I have a written lease.

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

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have your state's security deposit statute years for this type of claim.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

I've dealt with this before.

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

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.

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.
