Black Mold-What Are My Rights As A Tenant? Do I Need To Provide Proof Of Toxic Mold? If So, What Tests Do I Need And What Are My Rights Regarding My Lease And Costs Of Mold Identification And Removal?
Rental has black mold resulting from prolonged water damage due to winter leaks in the roof/ windows, plumbing problems, foundation seepage, and bad caulking. We mentioned the problem several times to our landlord. The problem has been ignored. Our normally very healthy family now has reoccuring respiratory issues and staph infestions that I believe may be directly related to the mold. What are my rights as a tenant? Do I need to provide proof of toxic mold? If so, what tests do I need and what are my rights regarding my existing lease and costs of mold identification and removal?
