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 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.
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.
Classic scenario honestly.
What trips people up most is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Standard disclaimer: talk to an actual attorney for your case.
