I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.
mold in apartment making family sick. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have been renting for 4 years. My monthly rent is $2,281. I have a written lease.
Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?
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 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.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager or something like that, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run just saying.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. But yeah, have someone look at your specific situation.
