Tenant Rights in Michigan — mold in apartment making family sick

Quick background on my situation in Michigan — any input appreciated.

mold in apartment making family sick. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 3 years. My monthly rent is $3,838. I have a written lease.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

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.
