Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Betsy, Counter the apartment manager by sending him appropriate quotes from the Institute of Medicine, IICRC S520 and the EPA.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Carl Grimes.......thanks but I'm not clear exactly what my position is. I tried in vain to get a lawyer and now the 2 year statute of limitations has expired but since learning that the apartment complex management destroyed all water intrusion and mold complaints from our file here, we might have grounds to reopen this thing and proceed. I am not sure who to go to next. If anyone on the list knows a good place to start in Arlington, TX, please let me know. There should be some sort of building code department but I found nothing in the phone book in that regard. I'm certainly not looking to " get rich quick " but there is an implied warranty of habitability law that has been violated so if I can get back maybe part of the rent we've been paying here for 5 years, I'd consider that fair enough. Looks like I still need to find a lawyer. Thanks again, Betsy ----- Original Message ----- From: " Carl E.
