Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 My fiance and I moved into an apartment on Sept 1, 2009. Immediately we got sick. Flu like symptoms. Shortly thereafter we had a water leak from the upstairs apartment. It soaked the wall in our laundry room, our bedroom baseboards, and our carpet in the hall and bedroom. Our landlord's did nothing. Just fixed the leak upstairs even though our walls were soft and told us to aim a fan at the carpet until it was dry. I have headaches everyday, we both have achy muscles and just feel run down. Like we are coming down with something. The apartment coplex pressure washed our walkways and walls. It leaked into our apartment. The ceiling by the door is damp and discolored, water ran down our walls and out the electric sockets! Still nothing was done by management. On Oct 21,2009 according to the SC Landlord Tenant act we presented the office manager in writing our complaint and gave them 2 weeks to remedie the situation. She came to our apartment and saw the water damaged areas as well as a dark splotch that is " bleeding " throught the paint on aour bedroom wall. We did indoor mold tests. It turned out green, black and white. The apt manager treated us like idiots and said we don't have mold. She said we got those results because we live in the south and it is humid. She has however, had the baseboard replaced in the living room which had black mold all over the back of it! We have pictures of everything. We have her signature that she has 2 weeks to remedy the situation. But because she will not admit we have a health issue here they do not want to let us out of our lease and SC environmental services all refer us back to the SC landlord tenant act. Any advise of who we can contact? We need to move now and they need to be reported to someone! Any advise will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
