It depends if it was his fault that the mold was there. If it is, then you can always take him to small claims court for very little investment....and no expensive lawyer.

I would say the health department could handle that for you. Also, I would call the BBB and make sure they know how bad a landlord he is.

What you need to do is write down a list of repairs that need to be done, send a copy to your landlord and submit a copy to your local tenancy board,if in a certain amount of time the landlord still does not do the repairs then the tenancy board can make him do the repairs or they will send someone to do them and bill the landlord.If in doubt contact your tenancy board they will let you know exactly what to do.

I can only suggest seeing a lawyer if they do not want to let you out of the lease.  Have you given your landlord some type of documentation from your doctor stating the problem?  Depending on the time left on your lease, if it's not to long, you may be able to work out a deal with the landlord.  Good Luck KG

do you have copies of the complaints you made? on what days you made them? and to whom?\n\nif so, contcat your local/govenment fair housing authority.\n\nas for free rent...not likely. if they sent people to fix it, in a timely fashion after yoru complain was made, (within a week) then you have no case to sue.

Unfortunately you've got an old fashion landlord who does not appreciate you as he should. Keep the pressure on the landlord to replace the heating equipment and buy yourself one or two room heaters. You could report this habitability violation to your local buidling code inspection department. And let them "persuade" your landlord into providing proper heat to your home.

check your lease.  Most times the security deposit is only for oustanding damage like if you put a hole in the wall, but if it is in your lease you may be out of luck.\nYou'd also have to check your local state laws....every place is different so in your area it might be illegal even if it is in the lease.

You should contact your lanlord and demand them to fix it.  If you are on a lease, you can tell him you will break thte lease if he does not do anything about it.  Also, if you decide to leave, take pictures OF EVERYTHING.  You can also report him to the health department.  Do something about it before it affects your health!

Very good suggestions above.  One thing I'll add from experience.  If the apartment/house still needs the carpet replaced or walls painted, etc, the landlord is going to say yeah, they'll replace that sometime after you move in.  Before you sign anything, get a firm date that they will be there to do the rest of the repairs after you move in, or it will never happen!  Don't be a jerk about it, but be serious about setting up a good time for them to take care of it.  Get it all worked out in advance.  Otherwise you'll be looking at the same pet stains or peeling paint for 5 years.

He cant prove it was you then.\nIf he sues he will have to sue all tenants at the time. Also if there was a deposit he can take the deposit but chances are the lawsuit will get thrown out of court.\n\nLook specifically in your contract to see if he retains any rights to file legal claims against you after the fact (some people have tricky contracts they write up) If not, then I wouldnt worry too much. Now im not a lawyer, nor do I play one on tv so this is solely my opinion.\n\nI would suggest telling him to shove it up his a**

You must first and foremost make sure you have submitted something to the landlord in writing. Please be detailed as to dates and times at which you have had the problem and reported the problem.  All this is necessary if this should go any further.  Certified mail is the best as someone in the office has to sign for it.  Depending on which state you live in also means something as well.  I agree with calling out the health dept, as there are several types of mold and not all molds/mildew issues are a health hazard. I would suggest to the landlord to transfer you into another unit.  Also do that in writing as well.  Means your not trying to get out of your lease just want the maintenance issue resolved.  If he/she is not willing to work with you regarding this issue, which he/she should.  Calling the health dept can become costly on a community quick.  So if your content with living at this community, work with them and not against them.  Makes the situation go much smoother.  Keep in mind NOT all molds are considered a health hazard.  So best of luck to you and try to resolve it.  Also, if the leandlord allows you out of your lease agreement.  GET IT IN WRITING, the last thing you need is for the company to come back to you and sue you for the remainder of the lease term.  It is a fine line and becareful.  Cover your assests here....  Document everything..............

First off, if you havent already, you MUST put your complaints/requests in writing and keep a copy for yourself.  Without doing this, there is nothing you can do.  Once you've done this, if the problems are still not taken care of within a reasonable amount of time (generally considered 30 days, especially with this type of project)  you can contact the Landlords Association.  They have a website somewhere, I'm sure you can find it.  But make sure to write your landlord a letter stating any and ALL problems.

This is a liability exposure on your landlord's part, as he is the owner of the property that caused the damage.  You should file a claim against his commercial general liability policy.  They will determine if he is liable or not.  If he is found to be liable for the damage they will pay for the repairs.  There is no need to sue anybody, just file a claim and see what happens from there.  The adjuster who handles it from his insurance company will just ask if it was rotten and if it looked like it needed to be removed, if this is the case he is liable and his insurance will pay.  I am an adjuster and we pay these claims when there are obvious signs of rot and if the owner of the property knew of the problem.  If it is a healthy tree and there was no way of preventing it on your landlords part, he is not liable. Good luck.

You have the right to get fired, moved sideways or downsized. Treating a building for mould probably isn't cheap. Watch your back.

Get a lawyer ASAP!  \n\nAs the landlord, you are the property owner so any improvements to that building's structure is your property.  \n\nLaws always depend on which state you are from however.  Like for example, I am in NY, I just recently moved from a house owned by someone else (alcoholic jerk).  Structurally we did not do anything different to it because we did not have that kind of money.  We remodeled the bathroom though and painted and put new carpets down. We put new lights in also. Legally we were allowed to take our carpets, lights and sinks and medicine cabinet back and take it with us as long as we left the house with the original fixtures it had.  \n\nIf we had replaced the roof and siding we can't very well rip it off right?  Otherwise we would have to replace it. \n\nIf they want to take that addition off they would have to foot the bill and fix the big hole in the house with new plywood, new insulation, probably a window/door, and new siding. They would also have to fix the inside of that room with new paint/wallpaper and probably have to fix the floor after being connected to a room that isn't there anymore. I doubt they would want that added cost.
