Ngl 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?

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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

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.
