Mold / Health Hazard in Rental — condo association special assessment dispute

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

condo association special assessment dispute. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 4 years. My monthly rent is $909. I have a written lease.

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

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
