Black Mold

Hot Surfer asked:


The whole apartment stinks!!! We have moved out of the area but are still paying rent there. All of the Maintenance people said that they can’t smell it but, we believe they are playing games with us. A 3rd Party Company came out and said it was “Not a Toxic Level” but, we have asthma and allergies and it really messes us up. I have washed all of the other stuff but, I am ready just to sell the couches and mattress and call it done. What do you think is the best solution at this point?? Are there any laws regarding this issue?? Is it worth getting a lawyer involved.

I have a rental property where someone has recently moved out. We had people come in and clean the carpets. Now we have a green color mold growing in the carpet. Help!! The carpet cleaners came back and said even he had never seen anything like it!
Removing the carpet is not an option

My husband and I moved into a town home last Sept. and got our place inspected by an inspector last July. How we discovered this was we had a leak in our kitchen and right above it is the shower so we knew it coming from the show from the bathroom. We had a plummer come out to look at the problem and he cut the cieling in the kitchen and their was mold pretty much all over. We called our insector and he said to call our home insurance company and he had nothing to do with it. The plummer said the home insurance does not cover the mold because it was there before we purchase the town home. Who should we go after the home inspector? The people who sold us the town home? Any suggestions would help.
Should we get an attorney? If so what time of an attorney should we look for

The was a fire on the 3rd floor last week, and I live on the 1st floor of the condo. We just had insurance people come by the other day to have them to check out damages. Most of water leakage happened in the laundry room, and through out the inspections, they found black mold underneath the tile. We don’t know how bad it is yet and how long it’s been there. But the insurance companies(homeowner’s & buiding insurance)told me that they dont cover mold. They also said that they won’t even touch the area where the mold is and we really need to fix up the damges from the fire. What do I need to do? Do I have the contractor hire someone for the mold inspection? My neighbors are urging me to get somebody out right away to check out the mold. How much would this cost out of my pocket? I need some help.
