Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hi I joined this about a week or so ago in the middle of moving out of what I think is a sick building. To summarize my situation I am 28 and suffering from Emphysema, I have a 3.5 yr old daughter and a 26 yr old fiance.We moved into our apartment which is in a 105 yr old building about 6 months ago. about 3 months into being here our daughter started getting sick. We noticed that she kept getting sicker no matter what we tried. Understanding that kids get sick from time to time. We took her to the doctor. Doc says she just has a cold and says to get some cough medicine and keep an eye on her. Well after 3 bottles and another 6 weeks we take her back. Now she has what appears to be asthma and we have found a large infestation of mold in the apartment behind one of the walls. We found it because it started creeping out under a sheet of drywall. Since our daughter has gotten sick we have all three started getting sick. When told about the mold our landlord spray painted over it and said it was alright. My daughter continued to get sick and we moved out. I have since had her back to the doctor and am awaiting a detailed analysis of what kind of mold it is. My medical bills are already bad and the landlord is insisting this isn't a problem and is refusing to release us from the lease even though the apartment was clearly making us sick. Do I have any ground to stand on as far as getting out of the lease? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
