How do we support those at the margins while ensuring we are not providing charity that is Toxic???

Before you start singing praises for certain companies and what they sell you might find this interesting....http://saferchemicals.org/newsroom/new-study-finds-toxic-chemicals-widespread-in-flooring-sold-by-top-retailers/

See https://www.epa.gov/moldBut since the tenants already informed you that they are asthmatic and considering that mold can cause irritation to the respiratory system, I would move them out immediately to be on the safer side.

Hi Gunnar, I wouldn't expect a lawyer was involved, because a lawyer would probably tell them that most mold is not toxic, that they should just get out their bleach, and just ask you to have someone check it out.I think you're right, that they may have some other agenda, like trying to get out of the lease.  

I agree, if he's this rude to people on a forum trying to answer his questions I can only imagine his toxic attitude towards tenants who don't live up to his standard of education or intelligence and dare to make a complaint.

Irritating.

It will just irritate you and stress out the tenant. 

I think fair housing discrimination laws don't apply when you live in the same unit.The worst problem I foresee is that the baby crying will irritate your tenants. 

The girl just got out of a toxic relationship and moving in with the father.

That's another reason I am a little irritated, because they know I will be paying their June electric bill as well (house meter is actually being installed today), so they know they are not going to pay the bill, but all of a sudden begin to use the laundry.In terms of the recent maintenance requests, I recently purchased this home, so I would agree that I am catching up with things that I missed while rehabbing the unit before they moved in (they are 1st tenants since rehab).
