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 8 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 3 years. My monthly rent is $4,171. I have a written lease.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

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

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

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.

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the implied warranty of habitability. Your state may provide additional protections.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.
