If you have a crawl space under the building where you are a couple feet from the ground,the mold

a leak from another apt could be the reason for the problem.These need to be looked at,and repaired.
a way to treat the problem yourself,if the leaks are fixed,is to buy a 40 buck home depot vac,,a lysol can of disinfecting spray,(look at contents for chem effective against trychophyton mentagrophytes,
,which works against athletes foot and a lot of mold types),,a 6oz glass bottle,half filled w warm water,a windex spray stem,,,,spray lysol into water bottle,like 6 doses of spray,,,use vac BLOW attachment (remove filter for max power) with nozzle concentrator to blow accross the stem in bottle,seal the top with thumb,vac should make a fine mist,,,,,,go all through the house,,,,have kids,pets,stay outside for a couple hours…clean out fridge,spray inside it,spray bathroom and wherever the mold is worse.Also try to find a uv sunlamp from a thrift shop.Take pics of before & after

tort law and toxic mold law is in its infancy and vary from state to state. some Docs still argue no such thing as toxic mold. foolish considering the evidence ofcourse. (sorry just seen sherlock holmes). regardless of state a rentor must provide a safe living space for the rentee. notify your landlord in writing of your concerns and his obligations and save a copy. if no action find a lawyer and he can help. landlords will not realize its their responsibilty only until after a lawyer is involved
