Black Mold

ebony0225 asked:


I just moved into my apartment 3 days ago, and when I turned off the air conditioner, I heard a splat noise-as if water was leaking. I made a mental note and went into the guest bedroom to set up the bed. Then I noticed something black protruding through the carpet. It was black mold!
When I opened the furnace closet, and peeked behind, there was mold EVERYWHERE!

There are pictures that I took at this link:

What would be your first choice of action if you were in this situation. I already notified the leasing office. Mold is serious, and really I just want a new Apartment. Any pointers…..legal advise etc?

I came back to my room after a weekend away i had left the air conditioner on. there was a strong smell when i walked in, not a disgusting one, but a bad one. It seemed to be coming from the air conditioner. I noticed this black mold on the front of the air conditioner that smeared like marker when wiped. I then found it covering everything in my room, just little black specs on everything. i shut off the ac, what should i do? What can i use to kill it? does everything need to be washed? What about clothes and sheets? thank you for any advice
should i use an air purifier or will that collect mold too?
