Lease Issue — 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 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 5 years. My monthly rent is $3,757. I have a written lease.

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

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

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.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under your state's security deposit statute, properly documented.

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