I live in an apartment in NH. Every year during the spring rains the floor soaks. The rugs molds and smells putrid. Last year the Housing Authority was doing their annual inspection of the apartment, and I was sure it would fail…but they PASSED it. How could this agency pass an apartment for human living that was 75% soaked in water. This is EVERY year that this place soaks in like this. The foundation is cracked and the landlord has not made any attempts to fix it.
In addition there is black mold on the bathroom ceiling, also behind my bed because it it near a window where the water floods in. What can I do…I want out of here, but there is no rental vouchers so I can have rental assistance. My husband has a bad heart and this cant be good for him. Help !!
