Lease Issue — mold in apartment making family sick

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

mold in apartment making family sick. I've been dealing with this for about 13 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 3 years. My monthly rent is $3,447. I have a written lease.

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

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

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.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

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

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

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.

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

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

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under state landlord-tenant code, in violation of notice requirements.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

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

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
