When I talked to my landlord they admitted that they were aware of the problem from before I moved in and just never decided to mention it. i had noticed it in the bathroom but it is common to have in bathrooms. Periodically we would get it in random places through out the house but i thought it was just normal. come to find out that it has been behind the walls and in the outside of our house the entire time! Since i have lived here I have a had a considerable decline in my mental capacity and my health has been horrible the last fews years. I get strange rashes all the time i have had a pain in my abdominal area for a couple years that wont go away and doctors cant figure out what it is. My youngest child that has lived here since birth has quite a few health problems including asthma, eczema, and difficulty concentrating. In fact my entire family of 4 has difficulty with memory or staying focused when we were not at all like this before living here. I really dont know what legal action to take and do not know if i can in the state of iowa but i fill like we have been poisoned by something that was known about and not disclosed. if anyone knows what to do please make any suggestion.

The landlord ordered a mold test (thinking my claims were an attempt to break the lease).. they came back with 8 kinds of very toxic air-born molds. After repeatedly asking for the results they finally gave me a one page letter from the testers.. saying that there was mold. I asked about getting the full report and they refused.. so I contacted a lawyer and was able to get the report which clearly indicated there was a problem so bad that I shouldn't be in the apartment. I contacted my neighbors on my floor who had also had water leaking from the roof-- I put a copy of the recommendation from the mold expert halfway under the door.. after my landlord's agent visit with 4 contractors I noticed that the letters to my neighbors wasn't where I put them, so I contronted her and she admitted taking them.. so I called the police.

Show them the mold and they will force your landlord to fix it immediately. Black mold is the most dangerous of all the toxic molds. Before your health becomes worse, contact them. I know in MA your landlord cannot give you an eviction notice for six months after you contact them providing you do not have any back rent. I would contact a lawyer also after the health inspector comes and writes up your landlord. You may not have to pay any rent until this issue is properly taken care of. You may be able to save enough money to move into another, healthier place to live. I hope all works out for you. If you get too bad, I would get out of that apartment and stay with friends until it is taken care of. Best of luck Lashawn,

In MA where I live it is harder because they do not have any guidelines for mold. If renting I would contact a lawyer and the health dept., if you own you would have to contact your home owners insurance or maybe even your state may have grants to take on tasks of this sort. i hope I could be of some help.

All the same sysmtoms including non-stop coughing and headaches and now asthma. I am suing, the only thing I fear is that most judges are landlords. Need I say more. The opposing lawyer represents a majot insurance company (pum parum pum pum pum pum) Which has 1000's & 1000's of lawsuits against them, even by their own clients for breach of contract, non-payment of claims, and yes many mold issues that they have lost. One would think that any insurance company would make an effort to go and check out a house that they are going to insure. Check for plumbing, electrical, septic tanks if applicable, roof, foundation and even permits with the county - checking accesors inquiry making sure that all their ducks are in order. But they dont care, they just want the money (pum parum pum pum pum pum) Because if they ever get a suit against them, they have the big dogs to release the legal mumbo jumbo to combat the language of the court. Even defense attorney's look for an easy payday because they too don't care about your health or anyones else's. They fear matching wits with those big dogs. A judge in Tulare County in 2003 filed a lawsuit against the county for mold in the court room for over a million and settled for way less because she was only sick temporarily. It does have to be toxic mold if your immune system is suppressed or you are considered a autoimmune desease person like with diabetis, aids, cancer, thyroid (see definition for autoimmune desease) any lump sum of mold can break you down an effect your health, some temporary and some serious. See AIHA website - CDC (center for dease control) and see what they say about mold. I myself and my wife, daughters and grandson have all been effected by mold in a house we were renting.

We ran dehumidifiers, per landlords request, because she said there was a "slight mold problem" that could be cleared up after 6 weeks of running the machines. However, the house is still rampant with mold. I have bleached and scrubbed everywhere at least once a week and it still grows back strong as ever. It's growing on my shoes, my windows, my entire bathroom, outside of the house, everywhere in the garage, in the kitchen...basically everywhere in the house because the air in the forest is so damp. We have used dehumidifiers that are like bags that we hang and they suck up the moisture, but even then, they are full in a day or two and we cannot afford to spend all our money on mold preventatives. Also, the house's foundation and wood features are cracked and easily break. we asked our landlord if the mold has ever been a significant problem and they said absolutely not, yet I've heard from people in the neighborhood that the former residents had gotten sick and were forced to move out. The landlord denied this claim. Now, my roommate, boyfriend, and myself have gotten very sick and haven't gotten any better no matter what we do. We went out of town for a weekend and both my boyfriend and I got healthier. we are at our wits end and worried about our health. what can we do????
