Need advice! Three kids, one autistic son. Apartment upstairs leaked behind shower wall for month down behind my bathroom walls. Manager refused to test for mold or hire someone experienced with mold and instead just took out some of the wet drywall and put new drywall up. The smell has been so bad from mildew or mold that we don’t want to be in the apartment. Symptoms of dizziness, sore throat, runny nose, sick feeling. Manager says he is sealing up the wall, no spraying or disinfecting and then the walls will dry out over time and no mold will grow. Well it already reeks of mold smell. He just sealed it up. How can I protect myself and kids? I cant move and I’m scared.

Check out this article specifically the part about landlord liability (https://moldblogger.com/toxic-mold-litigation-who-is-legally-responsible-and-do-i-have-a-case/). Document all you can from the mold and move out as soon as possible. Your health is so important!
