Guest guest Posted March 23, 2002 Report Share Posted March 23, 2002 I need a good attorney in California... I live in sville, which is 55 min north of Sacramento. The only problem I dont have any money nor do I have a lot of time. I have rented for 9 years, each year my health has slowly deteriated....changing doctors many times each of course starting over with treatments .... lets get your asthma under controll... I am not 10 years old, unable to function I change jobs... changed eating habits..exercised more. It wasnt until recently that a second, third and fourth possible reason for deteriating health. The first reason, had to do with the new roof that was put on the year I moved in, the flashing around the chimney was never closed. So every year my landlord blamed me & my kids for the mosture in the front room, said I flooded the flower bed. A single mom who work 50 to 60 hours a week just to survive took the blame, until she proved other wise. Unable to explain it I was treated like I did it again. It wasnt until early 2000 that he actually looked on the roof... so seven years this went on. They never replaced the carpet just dried it out ...until dec 2001. But I had address the mold issues several times in 2000, several times prior years. They said that bad isnt in this area and sorta chuckled. What did I know. I did know that everyone gets a little mold. But the mosture in my bathroom was bad... after having not license carpenters repair the bathroom three times in the first 7 years... never once finding the problem.... It was me and my kids...my kids moving out on their own 97 & 2000 .. The beg of 2001 when the sewage backed up I again pointed out the mold in the closets, the window sills, the one room. I also pointed out the entry way floor tile (ceramic) was coming up. My bed room right next to the entry way and bath room. But at this time the most I could do was point these things out, i couldn't deal with much.of anything other than breathing, I had pnemonia three times that year. I did not have medical insurance so I struggled just to live. I never knew whether I would be able to breath or not, the stress would cause me to have an asthma attach and then I was history. So I focused on breathing,.. the only thing I cared to deal with daily was being able to breath and work .... It took them 8 months before they replaced the carpet in the original room that had the fire place in it, mind you they had just closed that flashin on the roof until 2000. At that time I questioned the mold as possibly being a part of my health problems, thats when they said that that kind of mold isnt an issue. Plus that room is on the opposite side of the house (small house maybe 900 sq feet, cute but small). It took them 10 months to address the entry way...... at that point anothe unlicensed contractor.... but one that was working on getting a license... open the floor up there were several leaks, he pulled newspaper used as insulation out of the wall full of mold.... he had to cut away framing and replace... these were just two of the leaks.... when I pour water in the tub ....it just splashed all over ...all of the piping was thouroghy rusted away...this is major... Again he would have found that had I been lucky... then when repairing the sink he found another leak in the wall.... all of these leaks should have been found 5 or more years before. I had complained on one worker the second one I just said I gues he did i dont know I was to sick to deal with it... They knew how sick I was and never checked anything. I had ask that they treat the molded areas to this day they have not treating anything. I even pointed out two years in a row that the yard was dying it was my fault...again.... I also pointed out the dry rot on the deck and nothing has been done.... I fell through a board on the deck. I got to where I could not function.... the stress of not doing my job getting paid was killing me also... I quit my job because I couldnt do ... The landlord said they would work with me ... i live ther 9 years, you can count on one hand how many times I have been late past the 15th, this being one of those times.... the repairs were going to take one day started the first of Feb quit w/o finishing around the 20, during that time my toilet was on my front deck for three full days...... my floor was open for over a week... in which i instantly came down with bronchitis.... Around the 24th of feb ....oweing Feb rent... I had spoke with my landlord ... said I was going to try and drop off a 100$ at his wifes work on mon, and will pay marches by march 5th, didnt make it with the 100 til late tues, but his wife left early from work, but i left it there anyway, so they didnt get it til Wed. But by this time I had receive several threatning calls. ( I remember once in 99 (fully documented by the way) he started yealling at me in the front yard it wasnt even the 15th yet... All I could do was cry). Anyway after his third call threatning to evict me, if I didnt pay a 1000 $ by Mar 1st. I told him he would have to do it because I didnt have that much right then... I had been prepared to pay total 700 by march 7. The next day I received a three day notice to pay or quit. I called not able to understand why I was being treated so bad....and then I told him that I felt that the rent should be waived for feb if not mar, the repairs were not completed the mold had not been treated and I was sick because of this and was not working. I would not be paying until all repairs and mold issues were dealt with. I also ask for his home owners insurance. The next day I received a 30 day notice, that he was selling the house. Now I have received a nasty letter from his attorney. My health not being good but almost 80 % better except when it rains... which has been a lot in march.. I was prepared to just leave because I just want to be able to breath.... and to enjoy my life for awhile... I have worked since I was 13, both parents alcoholics, raised my kids alone. But this man should not be allowed to do this... I spent over 300 on medicines in Jan - March, I am down to my last dollars I have no more money... I left two jobs both I was good at and loved but could no longer do, I owe so much money... my last job was for non profit organization on youth developement.... we service over 18 thousand kids..in 2000. I wanted to expand so bad so we would not have to turn kids away, the 5000$ that they loaned me could have helped with that. I have no way to pay that money back right now... I couldnt even move out of the house, now he gets to just kick me out and sell the house and do the same thing again. I dont any time left I am slowly getting my energy back. So this is what I am fighting....I am told that mold is part of life.... but this was not just mold this was also neglegence with someones life... I could have died. My death certificate would have said cronic asthma and lung desease ....I have never smoked and very very rarely do I use harsh chemicals to clean... They were not in my budget. I have never been on welfare nor gotten food stamps.. I have earned everything I have ever had, including my two wonderful kids. Last year this time I was in the hospital with walking pnemonia. There was also another reason why I did not tie the mold things together was that I was diagnozed with TB in Mar of 2001, I had the germ not the desease, but I didnt know or understand it until when I got through the treatment and there was no change... There wouldnt be, I had the germ not the desease so it had nothing to do with me being sick, it just happened to be found because I was grasping for explanations.... so I tested for everything there was a reason I was sick. Those were free test that I could afford...laughing... although that one scared me to death. So can you help find an attorney. ----- Original Message ---- Sent: Monday, March 1, 2002 11:48 AM Subject: [] the best mold lawyers in texas and california if anyone needs a good mold lawyer in texas or california, let me know. i know who the best of the best are in these states, depending on who you are fighting and where you are.i would be happy to help steer anyone in the right direction.
