Mold

[Sheryl Brown]

We moved into a house 6 mos ago, every since we moved in my husband's health has gotten worse he is 52 he has became extremely fatiqued, sinus probems has gotten worse, I was working at the time until 6 wks ago I would feel exhausted, you name it, I would push myself to go to work after I got to work I would get to feeling better then weekends came I couldnt hardly move fatiqued, pain all over my body now thatI am on medical leave due to getting ready for surgery my symptoms has gotten much worse I am chronically fatiqued, asthma attacks left & right every other day I am having an attack, so were both going down hill a couple mos ago we told the landlord we noticed some mold in basement he sent someone over to take care of it however all they done was paint over it, we noticed it was bleeding back through the paint we emailed the landlord told him of this, told him we felt this house is slowing killing us cause our health is going down hill he said he would let us out of our lease with no penalities, I am scared that our health is damaged by this & were oging to get out of here our health be so damaged we need medical attention, etc & we cant afford this, we also done a mold test & both tests show mold in container however we really dont have the money to send it off get tested especially now we have to move & be out the money for that. What can we do, he has already said hes coming over to put a rent sign up this is only going to add to someone else moving in & him not issuing the problem. How can he be stopped as I said we dont have money to go to court or anything we are on a very fixed income here can you please advise in any way?? Thank You

He let you out of the lease, so you can move somewhere that will keep you in better health. I'm not sure what else you want?

Not everyone is allergic to mold, and very little mold is toxic, there's a very good chance that many people have lived there before you, and will continue to live there after you, without any health problems.

It would be very hard for you to find a house with no mold anywhere. Hopefully you get to feeling better when you get to your new place.
