Re: Dealing with HOA regarding mold in condo?

[Guest guest]

Hi, folks, Anyone have any tips on how to deal with the HOA Director?

Any experience or advice?

He's ordered air quality tests in our condo after mold and water remediation

work was done for the last 37 days.

Looks like they may do a roof inspection too.

Landlord already installed the new living room carpet and installed new

kickplates in the kitchen.

Cabinets in kitchen were partially remediated, instead of replaced. Now they

smell like baked, mildewed wood instead of fresh mildewed wood. Oh, dear. I'm

starting to pack out things. Moving soon might be the best thing to do.

I was basically in the same situation you are but I was buying my condo. The HOA

will spend the least amount of money possible and beings your renting your

landlord will more than likely do the same. If I were you I'd do everything

possible to get out of the lease and move. Chances are if your already ill

whatever belongings you take with you will only exasperate your symptoms.

I lived in my condo for 6 weeks and lost everything I own, Im financially ruined

and even though Im on antifungals my health has been severely impacted.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm so sorry that you had to go through

that! No one should have to go through it!!

There'll be an air quality test tomorrow in our condo. So, I can start looking

at other places for us to live.

How long were you living in the moldy enviornment? What are your symptoms, have

you seen a Dr who knows how to treat mold exposure?

Getting air tests is a good idea but if your already getting sick that in my

opinion is the only air test your going to need to confirm that your going to

have to move.
