Black Mold In My Apartment

Irma — Sat, 20 Jul 2013 16:52:59 +0000

I have a serious problem with mold in my apartment. Black mold, green mold, white mold. I can’t keep the mold under control at all. I already told my landlord that if he can take any action on black mold removal, but it was not been taken care of. I keep my house relatively clean, but the mold is growing from underneath my carpet and from inside the walls.Who do I contact about this? I’m frightened, I’m having severe breathing problems now, and I can’t get my landlords or maintenance people to fix this problem, I need to be relocated to an other apartment, but I want to move away from this place. I’m too poor to move with my own money, please someone give me information on who to call and tell about this terribly disgusting problem I have with my apartment and my manager who’s doing nothing but trying to cover this problem up. I need to be relocated to an other apartment, but I want to move away from this place.

I recently contacted my property management about a black mold problem through out my apt. The lady at the office told me that its ok, theres 2 different kinds of mold and its most likely the good mold that im dealing with. I looked it up myself and the only good mold is the mold used for medicine, cheese, or wine. Since im not tryna make any of these in my apt i figured the black mold was bad. All my property management did was send 2 non english speaking people to my apt to scrub the walls with dish soap. I have multiple symptoms due to the mold but dnt have insurance to got to the doctor. What can ido?

Black Mold In Our Apartment

I have been living in my apartment for 5 months now and have noticed small black mold on walls that we had just cleaned up and finally came home to black mold on my walls. we informed the landlord and they said they have the right to clean it. I spoke to service men and they said that for mold removal, only cleaning is not enough, the walls have to be torn down and everyone has to be out. Once I told this to my landlord they did not do anything but let us out of our lease . Now, my question is whether we will be able to get our security deposits back since the insurance company said it was no way our fault and we are entitled to our money back except for rent for occupying?

Problem with black mold

I am in FL, and I moved into my apartment about 4 months ago. I have been coughing, sneezing, and blowing my nose since I got here. I was aware that there were problems with the roof before I moved in, but the management assured me that they were fixed. I asked them to change the a/c filter, and they did, but I was still sneezing. A couple months ago, I asked them to clean the ducts. I followed up several times, but they never did any more than changing the filter. A couple weeks ago, we had a very bad rain, and chunks started falling out of the ceiling in the laundry room. It also started leaking. The management said to wait until all the storms passed and they would fix the roof. Meanwhile, my respiratory issues have worsened. Last week, I noticed that black mold had begun to grow on the several of the vents. I reported the one in the bedroom, and maintenance told me it was rust and painted over it. I’m pretty sure they are lying, so I took pictures and collected samples. Can my landlord evict me if I inform them of black mold on walls? What should I do next? Should I do something for black mold removal on my own? Where can I get some information on how to kill mold?
