lets see first you need to call the health dep ,because mold is very dangerousand sometimes fatal. and if you all are getting sick it would be the best of attact .
in most states your landlord would be responsable for your boarding until the house is safe to live in again . I am sure that there is other aves to explore and as soon as you can you should talk to an attorney ,for you and your families protection (health/legal). You might try your local legal aid office
just not to long ago on extreme makeover home edition a family lost the husband/father because he was trying to work on the basement he moved around some mold that was in the basement and got sick and passed away in like a month , so it is very dangerous so you really need to have pros take care of that or at least tell you if it harmful.
I think that you can look in the front of your phonebook and there should be more numbers and info avalable to you
good luck
Getting rid of serious mold problems is best let to the experts,they not only kill the mold but remove whats already contamenedted.Since you rent I would ask owner to take care of problem.Mold can make you sick and feel terrible year round,hopefully the owner of your rental will step up to the place and have it taken care of for you.
Well here in oregon the landlord would have to remedy the situation right away and/or find you lodgeing till they take care of it I think thats what Ive heard..its the law..if you have a renters rights hotline they would be able to help..i think there is a 1800 numbers that would hook you up with a renters right in your area..that is if the landlord wont do anything.
This is a serious problem that your landlord needs to have taken care of right away. Mold can cause numerous medical problems for people of all ages. But your babies are at a higher risk. If your landlors doesn't address it contact your local board of health.
OK first thing you need to do is call someone and have the mold taken care of. second thing you need to do is start reading over what you type before you submit it. how do you spelt mold? ANd learn to let go of the shift key after you finish capitalizing the letter you wanted in caps, oh it helps to make sure all the letters are in the correct palce in the words, they even have a convenient spell checker made to check spelling.
