I'm dealing with a situation in Oregon and need some guidance.
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 in this property for 4 years. My monthly rent is $4,123. I have a written lease.
Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?
I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation idk, companies usually settle.

I've dealt with this before.
What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

Most folks screw this up by is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead no cap.

Been there. Here's what I learned.
The thing that gets people is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
