TOLEDO (WTOL) - She lives in a house on the 5500 block of Comet in

west Toledo. Fine and dandy, you say. But what you don't know -- or

didn't until now -- is that when it rains outside, it's raining

inside, too.

" I used to live in a three-bedroom small house, " said Micenic.

She wanted to move to a bigger home, so she did; but with it came

much bigger problems.

" You can see where the water was coming from, and it just dripped

onto my bed, " Micenic said.

The rain is bad enough, surely. But hard on its heels was black

mold, which is bad for anyone -- and especially for people with

asthma.

Mika spoke with Micenic's landlord, who says she had been very

responsive when fixing things. She said her husband has already

hired someone to fix the ceiling. She also claimed not to have known

about the black mold.

Mika suggested the two women sit down to discuss the situation.

Micenic said if the problems aren't fixed, she'll soon be moving out.
