Insane Landlord story

[Steve Burt]

Have a friend who lives in the DFW area. They came home to their dog very sick and unable to breathe and eventually they found themselves in the same predicament. Eventually they realized that construction fumes from the unit below them (supposedly fumes from coating bath tub surfaces) were coming up into their unit. They had to move to a hotel (apartment complex is denying any issues and will not reimburse). Now they are looking to break the lease however the landlord won't let them out. Anyone have any advice?
