A woman has just found a hidden room in her rental home. But this room is of no use to her or her small child.
In fact, quite to the contrary, she claims it contains high levels of mold making her child sick. She says her child was never sick before and now has bad respiratory problems.
Read about this woman's claims here.
Every day people call our office with similar problems. They are renting a home that they believed was safe. Only to find out that it is mold infested.
And these people have many complaints. For some, they always feel as if they have a cold. For others, breathing his hard. And yet others report motor skill and memory problems.
If you rent a home, you have a right to a safe environment. Your home should not make you or your child ill. Some landlords are responsible and will resolve this problem promptly. They may have to let you out of your lease and pay for your personal property.
Others are not as responsible. In that case, contact local officials to see if they can help. If not, then you should contact a lawyer to learn of your legal options.
For condominium and townhouse owners, mold responsibility may be complex. If it comes from a common element, some or all responsibility may fall on the association. However, your state's case law and your governing documents should be reviewed before reaching any conclusions.
Also, unit owners may be able to file insurance claims. Depending upon your policy, and the facts, the policy may provide coverage.
A home should provide comfort. Not illness.
