Date: 28 April 2009 Ariz. Jury Awards Tenant $3.3 Million for

Cognitive Problems from Mold PHOENIX — A Phoenix jury has awarded $3.3

million

to a woman who blamed her mold exposure and related illnesses on her

landlord’s negligence in failing to make timely repairs. Minium v. Pillar

Communities LLC, et al., No. CV2004-014906 (Ariz. Super. Ct., Maricopa Cty.).

The nine jurors reportedly deliberated for two hours before reaching a

unanimous verdict in favor of plaintiff Robin Minium and against her former

landlord, Pillar communities LLC. The defendant is one of the largest

developers and landlords in the Greater Phoenix area, with more than 4,000

apartment units, according to a trial report.

Minium is a former executive with American Express who sued Pillar in

2004, complaining that Pillar failed to warn of mold remediation in neighboring

apartments and allowed water leaks to go unrepaired until mold permeated

her building.

She alleged that she and other tenants had complained to Pillar of water

leaks and of feeling ill before Pillar paid for remediation projects in

other apartments......

Seems to me, " they " will soon come to understand that it is far less

expensive to warn occupants of the potential health hazard from contaminated

indoor environments, rather than depend on IAQ " professionals " who advise to

keep quiet about the potential risk and just fix the problem. This stance

just does not cut it anymore...now that the cat is out of the bag.
