I am so sorry. What an awful tenant!

I would document anytime a contractor says "no mold". Also, document how she refused to use the dehumidifier. That is unreasonable and on her.

I am not positive but I believe if you make a good faith effort in remedial work for any problems, that is very good for you in court. If you ignored it then that would be another story.

Now, about getting sick from mold. If someone developes yeast issues or fungus all that is needed are a) a dryer environment which you are working on and b) anti fungal drugs or herbs. The anti fungal herbs and foods can heal you. Ditto changing your diet a bit so the fungus doesn't grow (no sugar, no bread or wheat, etc you can look it up). Even if she did win medical I don't think it would be outrageous.
